Alice in Wonderland (2010) autism-friendly screening

When
Sunday 20 July • 11:00

Tumble down the rabbit hole with Alice in this imaginative twist on one of the most beloved stories of all time.

This Wonderland is a world beyond imagination and unlike anything ever seen before. The extraordinary characters come to life richer and more colourful than ever. 

Our Sunday morning Hyde & Seek screenings at 11:00 in Screen Two are Autism friendly. These relaxed screenings are intended to provide a safe environment for neurodiverse audiences and anyone who finds standard screenings challenging. They feature prompt start times, raised lighting, reduced volume and a relaxed attitude to noise/moving around. To give audiences extra space, we reduce the capacity at these screenings, so pre-booking is advised as they often sell out.

When
Sunday 21 July • 11:30

When Alice comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland, she discovers that her friend the Mad Hatter has lost his Muchness and embarks on a perilous race to save him before time runs out. 

Alice has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass that takes her to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends. There she discovers that the Mad Hatter has lost his Muchness, so the White Queen sends her on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock that powers all time. Returning to the past, she embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out.
