The matinee screenings are designed to suit the needs for elderly people living with dementia and memory loss with their family, friends and carers.
The screenings will be set in a relaxed environment with lights stayed on and the sound is turned down with a special offer of tea, coffee, biscuits and cakes. Patrons can sing along to songs in musical numbers. There are no trailers and adverts.
