April is full of Autism Friendly Screening opportunities

there will be more than 600 screenings across the country to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day. These include our usual Sunday screenings, as well as more chances to see films during the week!  

They can all be found here: http://yourlocalcinema.com/AFS.html

We are working with the Cinema Exhibitors Association to organise the first ever dedicated week of Autism Friendly Screenings and hope you enjoy them.

April’s films with us will be:

Cineworld: Rio 2  – Sunday April 6th  at 11am.

ODEON: Rio 2  – Sunday April 6th  at 11.30am.

Showcase: Muppets Most Wanted –  Sunday April 13th at 10am.

Vue: Escape From Planet Earth – Sunday April 27th at 10am.

As always, adjustments will be in place for all of the screenings during April. These include: lights being left on low, no adverts, lower sound levels, people being able to move around the cinema and able to take their own food. Flyers are attached to my email – please do print and share, as well as send onto anybody you feel would be interested in the screenings.
