Dementia Accessible Cinema: The Greatest Showman
Join us for a dementia-accessible film screening of the spectacular The Greatest Showman – a relaxed and welcoming cinema experience designed with those living with dementia, their families, and carers in mind.
Inspired by the legend and ambitions of America’s original pop-culture impresario, P.T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman), comes an inspirational rags-to-riches tale of a brash dreamer who rose from nothing to prove that anything you can envision is possible and that everyone, no matter how invisible, has a stupendous story worthy of a world-class spectacle.
Doors open at 12pm for tea, coffee and cake (available for a donation), with the film starting at 1pm. Enjoy classic favourites in a calm environment where the lights are slightly up, the volume is gentle, and you're free to move around or talk if needed. Each film will have an interval to provide a movement and comfort break. We will have additional staff and signage available to help you, and there is an accessible route into the studio.
Everyone is welcome – whether you're living with dementia, caring for someone who is, or simply want to enjoy a classic film in a friendly, understanding space.
