We try to make our afternoon showings dementia and autism friendly. Volume levels are reasonable, the room is never completely dark and there is an interval around halfway through the film.

We are also showing War Horse ahead of the upcoming performance of Farm Boy, a sequel to War Horse, later in March.
The first showing on Tuesday 12th March at 2pm is like our regular afternoon showings. The tickets are £5 including tea/coffee and biscuits. There will be an interval and the showing will last 150 minutes.
The second showing is on Wednesday 13th March at 7:30pm. The tickets are £5. There is no tea/coffee but a licenced bar will be open from 7:00pm. There will not be an interval so the film will last 135 minutes.

Or, as always, you can pay on the door.
About One Life
