Autism & Sensory Friendly Screenings
Relaxed screenings in a calm, welcoming environment
The typical cinema environment can be stressful for guests with autism, sensory difficulties or learning impairments. Our Autism-Friendly Screenings (also known as relaxed or sensory-friendly) are specially adapted to make the cinema experience more accessible and enjoyable for autistic guests and others with sensory sensitivities.
We host special autism friendly screenings one Sunday each month at The Royal Sutton Coldfield.
What to expect:
● Lower sound levels
● Lights left on low throughout the film
● Freedom to move around, make noise, or take a break
● No trailers or adverts before the film
● Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere
● We also have audio headsets available for those who wish to use them
These screenings are open to anyone who finds traditional cinema environments challenging — including those with autism, learning disabilities, or sensory sensitivities — along with their families, friends, or carers. Please note that due to reduced adverts and trailers these performances will start shortly after advertised timings.
We aim to run our sensory friendly screenings monthly, excluding school holidays.
Upcoming showtimes will be listed here as soon as they’re confirmed. If none are currently listed, please check back soon.
