Movies & Memories
The Torch Theatre has introduced the new Movies & Memories screenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons. 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 matinee 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, 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. Hearing loops or hearing aids and headphones are available.
Please note there is a short interval during the screenings with ice cream available to buy.
The trained staff at The Torch will also be on hand to give the elderly people a very warm welcome.
Please note there are no screenings for the Movies & Memories in August.
