About Memory Matinees
These screenings have been designed to be inclusive to those living with dementia, as well as family members and carers. Our Memory Matinees screenings are rooted in the idea that a trip to the cinema is a powerful way for people to reconnect with memories.
During the film, the house lights will be raised slightly and the sound level will be slightly lower than normal. Our trained staff and volunteers will be on hand throughout the screenings to assist, but please note that pastoral care is not provided, a friend, family member or carer must also attend.
Our cinema, the Electric Palace, is a heritage building and as such, some of our accessibility arrangements are limited. Please contact the venue or your local organising group in advance if you are a wheelchair user or have difficulty with steps and wish to attend. Please also bring extra warm layers with you in case you need them.
