FILM CLUBS

Cinema is for everyone. Our Film Clubs are designed to make the experience welcoming and accessible to different audiences across Croydon, with screenings created around particular needs and interests. Our Film Clubs are another way of bringing people together through film, while making sure everyone can enjoy the cinema in a way that works for them.

We offer free tea, coffee, hot chocolate, squash and biscuits before each film, giving everyone a chance to settle in and have a chat.

Anyone is very welcome to join us, but please be aware that each screening is created with its primary audience in mind.

We want the cinema to be somewhere you can feel at home. So, whether you’re coming to your first screening or you’ve been before, come along, get comfortable and enjoy the film.

BABES IN ARMS

Our Babes in Arms screenings are relaxed, welcoming sessions for parents and carers with babies under one year old.

The cinema is kept cosy, with low lighting and a significantly lower sound level than at our usual screenings. If your baby needs attention during the film, that’s absolutely fine – you can leave your seat, move around or step outside whenever you need to.

The films are selected for adults, rather than babies, so please consider whether the film is suitable for you and your baby before booking.

Babies under one year old go free. Adult tickets are £6.

DEMENTIA FRIENDLY

We’re proud to be an accredited Dementia Friendly Venue.

Our Dementia Friendly screenings are designed for people living with dementia and their carers. We show a selection of older films alongside suitable titles from our regular programme. For these screenings: –

The lights are dimmed, rather than switched off completely.
The volume may be slightly lower than usual.
You’re free to move around, enter or leave the cinema during the film.
There’s no need to worry about making a little noise.
Wheelchair users have easy access, with two wheelchair spaces available.

The volume may be slightly lower than usual.
You’re free to move around, enter or leave the cinema during the film.
