Relaxed Screenings

For a neurodiverse audience

Ola, a smiling 30-year-old man in a button-down shirt, rides a bike down a residential street with lots of greenery while a person carrying a basket watches on.

A relaxed screening takes place in an environment that is specially tailored for a neurodiverse audience, as well as those who find a more informal setting beneficial. 

Our Relaxed Screenings are perfect for those who prefer a more casual experience at the cinema. 

What to expect: 

  • The lights are dimmed, though not off
  • The volume levels a little lower than usual
  • You are free to move around the screen and to enter and exit the cinema at any time, with easy access for any wheelchair users
  • You're free to make noise in these screenings
  • Staff are trained and ready to assist with any help you or other audience members may need while you're at the cinema at Barbican
