Dementia-Friendly Screenings

Two of Pembrokeshire’s cinemas the Torch Theatre in Milford Haven and Theatr Gwaun in Fishguard shows dementia-friendly screenings of classic movies.

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. Patrons are free to move about during the screenings and there is a short interval during the screening with ice cream available to buy.
