Dimensions – Autism friendly environments nationwide

Dimensions logo

Looking for autism friendly things to do? Dimensions UK work with cinemas, libraries, museums and Belong by GAME Arenas. Each venue’s autism friendly training is tailored to their environment and guests. Adjustments include reduced sensory stimulation, increased signage and autism training for staff. Our training is developed with autism and industry experts, so it works for both our guests and the venues.

Autism friendly screenings are held at over 300 cinemas nationwide: ODEON, Cineworld, Vue, Showcase, Picturehouse, Everyman, Light and some independent cinemas. The screenings take place regularly and have adjustments to make the cinema experience more enjoyable for people with autism or sensory sensitivity. To find out more about Autism Friendly screenings you can visit the Dimensions website or the Dimensions Facebook page, or your local cinema.

Accessibility

Details

The participating cinemas all have wheelchair access. Each participating cinema has a different number of wheelchair spaces and the number of wheelchair users that can be accommodated in each screen is limited, due to the building and safety. The best way to ensure that you have a wheelchair space is to book your tickets at the earliest opportunity.

The cinemas understand some visitors may need different adjustments. You are welcome to contact your local participating cinema before the autism friendly screening to discuss how they can best accommodate your needs.
