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.

Paddington in Peru on 10th November at 10am.

Paddington takes the Brown family to meet his aunt in Peru. But a mystery lands them in an even bigger adventure.

Did you know?

In a shop near Paddington Station on Christmas Eve 1956, a lone bear was noticed by author Michael Bond and it reminded him of evacuee children at train stations with a label round their necks and their belongings in a suitcase. He bought the bear for his wife and wrote the story of Paddington Bear.

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
