We are screening The Smashing Machine, with adjustments made to make the experience more relaxed. The film will be preceded by a countdown timer, which will start counting down at the advertised start time. There will be no adverts or trailers and throughout the film there will be lower sound and our lights will be left on a low setting. It is crucial that neurodivergent guests, their families and carers, can access our cinema with settings to help overcome barriers to entry. All are welcome to attend, but empathy and patience is a must. We do ask that - if possible - you support the cinema in purchasing snacks and/or drinks, but understand that some guests may have very specific preferences that we are happy to allow (or if you want specific products in your own cup/tub, we will accommodate this also).

The Smashing Machine stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Emily Blunt. In what is already being described as a transformative performance, Johnson plays legendary UFC fighter Mark Kerr as he battles intense personal struggles at the height of his career.
