What's on at ODEON autism friendly screenings

Introducing ODEON’s next autism friendly cinema screening, welcoming anyone who benefits from an inclusive and sensory friendly environment.

Wicked on Sunday 26th January at 10am.

Two unlikely students become friends in this origin story of The Wizard of Oz's Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

Did you know?

Experienced singers, Cynthia Arivo and Ariana Grande, insisted on singing their songs live during recording instead of lip-syncing to the music because they wanted the characters to sound authentic.

Important notes

  • Some ODEON cinemas open later so will be showing the screening later than 10am. Please check with your local cinema.

What makes an ODEON cinema screening autism-friendly?

Sometimes you might also see an autism-friendly screening being described as a relaxed screening or a sensory-friendly screening. This means there are some adjustments in place to help reduce the stress and sensory input people with autism and other sensory sensitivities can experience.

Autism-friendly adjustments include:

  • There are no trailers
  • You can sit where you like, move around and make noise
  • The lights and volume are turned down
  • You can take your own food and drink
  • Staff are trained in autism understanding
  • Carers can get free entry with a valid CEA Card
