Access to the cinema

Already, over 200 cinemas have the equipment to show subtitled and audio described films. Each month there are 1,000 screenings of subtitled films around the UK.

We are a member of  the Cinema Access Disability Working Group, a group set up by the Cinema Exhibitors' Association to find ways to improve access to cinemas and films, for people with physical and sensory impairments. We are also one of the official sponsors for Your local cinema (external link, opens new browser window). Visit this website if you would like to sign up for a weekly email service listing all the subtitled screenings for the week ahead.

Induction loops and infrared systems

Many cinemas now provide induction loops and infrared systems in most of the screens and Odeon cinemas have a policy of 100% provision of induction loops or infrared systems in every screen at every cinema. If your local cinema does not contain a loop or it does not work properly, do contact the cinema manager.

Film listings

For comprehensive listings of all this week's latest subtitled and audio described film releases see Your local cinema (external link, opens new browser window). A good tip is to always check with the cinema before you travel as times and dates do change.
