Relaxed Screenings at Tyneside Cinema

Relaxed Screenings programme will be running every month from June of this year.

We believe the big screen experience should be accessible to everyone, and are striving to facilitate a warm, inviting space for all to discover the joy of cinema. Our relaxed screenings are open to all, but are particularly mindful of neurodiverse audiences, with adjustments in place to create an inclusive, relaxed environment.

All screenings will feature:

•  Tickets priced at £6, with Companions going free.
• A mixture of new release films and highlights from our classic film seasons, e.g., our screening on 4 June of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Films will be aimed at a range of ages.
• Doors opening at 11am, with the film starting at 11.30am as advertised.
• A short introduction from our friendly team, who will welcome everyone and let them know what to expect.
• There will be no advertisements or trailers.
• During the film, lights will be lowered slightly, and sound will play at a slightly lower level.
• Guests are free to move around during the film, and to make use of the breakout spaces we will have available.
• Wherever possible, screenings will feature descriptive subtitles.
• After booking a ticket, we will email a Social Story document to every booker to outline what to expect at the screening, including information about the film, our building, and timings of the screening.
• Screenings will always take place in the same screen (in the Roxy, on the third floor of the cinema), on the first Sunday of each month.
