“Cineworld was one of the first cinemas to join Dimensions autism-friendly screenings, and we haven’t looked back. It’s very important for us to be able to offer inclusive screenings for people with autism and help them enjoy the world of film.”Cineworld has been hosting autism friendly cinema screenings since 2012 and now their sensory-friendly films are at over 100 cinemas at least once a month.
What makes a Cineworld 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.
Cineworld’s autism-friendly adjustments include:
- There are no trailers
- 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.
Dimensions provide free online training for every cinema in the UK, and additional support for other partner cinemas; ODEON, Vue, Showcase, Picturehouse and Everyman.
