Autism Friendly Cinema Screenings
Once a month every cinema on the Wirral and in Liverpool will show an autism friendly screening of a children’s movie; this is great for all ages and family members to attend and is targeted at those with a child with ASD or disability. The screenings differ from the usual mainstream as there are no adverts before the film is shown (therefore be there on time), the lights are raised slightly and the sound is lowered; also if your child changes seats or talks during the performance then this is ok. This is also a good chance to meet other families with children with ASD. This months screenings are:
Odeon, Bromborough – will be showing The Good Dinosaur on Sunday, 29th November at 11:30am.
Vue Cinema, Birkenhead & Cheshire Oaks will be showing Minions on Sunday, 29th November at 10:00am; for only £1.99 a ticket!
