The Little Theatre Cinema in Bath has launched regular Dementia Friendly screenings, allowing people with the condition to continue to enjoy visiting the cinema with their family, friends and carers.

The special Dementia Friendly screenings aim to provide a fun and inclusive experience, enabling people with dementia and their carers to attend the cinema in a safe and comfortable environment.

The screenings will also give visitors the chance to get out and socialise with people from the local community and other people in a similar situation.

The events are open to everyone, but are enhanced to suit the needs of people with dementia. The lights are left on low, there will be no adverts, and people are free to move around and take a break if needed.

The cinema will be offering free tea, filter coffee and biscuits from 10.30 each screening, so people can go and get settled into the space, with the film starting at 11am.

There will also be an interval for 20 minutes half way through the film, when free tea and coffee will be served again.

The Little Theatre Cinema will be holding the screenings once every month on the first Monday of the month, showing a selection of old classics, musicals and some more recent films.

Tickets are £4 per person, with accompanying carers free and can be booked in person at the cinema, over the phone on 0871 902 5747 or online at https://www.picturehouses.com/cinema/The_Little/Whats_On?filter=DementiaFS

Wheelchair spaces are limited, so book in advance to make sure they are available.

The next few Dementia Friendly screenings will be:

Mon 4th March – 11.00 am – My Sister Eileen

Mon 1st April – 11.00 am – The African Queen
