We are screening Hocus Pocus, 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). About the Film: After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max explores an abandoned house with his sister and their new friend. Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal. Halloween Fancy Dress Encouraged, to Get Into the Spooky Spirit!
