What it’s like
Standard screenings plus a Saturday and Sunday sensory friendly showing with the lights up and the sound down.
A child's ticket is £8.95 and an adult's £10.95, and you book it online rather than queuing on the day. Doors open half an hour before the first showing, which is roughly when you want to arrive if you fancy a proper look at what's on offer from Joe's Food Truck or the Cinema Classics counter before the trailers start.
Speaking of trailers, the site is upfront that the pre-show adverts can run anywhere from 7 to 17 minutes, so if you have booked a screening for right after nursery pickup you might want to pad the timing a bit. Under 18 months sit free on your lap at appropriate screenings, which is handy if you are not ready to pay full whack for a baby who will sleep through most of it anyway.
Every Saturday and Sunday around midday there is a sensory friendly showing of a popular family film, with the lights left low rather than off, the volume turned down, and subtitles running throughout. It is a proper accommodation rather than a token gesture, and worth building a weekend around if that sort of screening makes the difference between a good trip and a stressful one.
One thing to flag: only food bought on-site can be eaten in the building, so smuggled snacks are off the table. Tickets bought online can be refunded up to two hours before the start, less the booking fee, but anything bought at the cinema desk itself is non-refundable and non-transferable, so it pays to be sure before you hand over cash there.
