Cinema Visits
Enjoy the Cinema with Greater Accessibility
Going to the cinema should be enjoyable for everyone — and many cinemas now offer a range of accessible features to make your visit more comfortable, inclusive, and stress-free.
Our local Cineworld St Neots provides several accessibility options to support disabled cinema-goers and those with additional needs.
Screens 5 and 6 have an Access Box, which have 1 wheelchair space and 2 companion seats. Each box has power points, a heater, a security camera and a disabled toilet outside.
The seats can be reserved on booking online. The box is also good if you have sensory issues, as they are placed at the back and in an elclosed priavte space.
The boxes are accessed by lift from the foyer. The lift has a push and hold style button to enable movement. The ilft is big enough for a powered wheelchair, or a manual wheelchair and companion.
Please note: For St Neots, Autism friendly and relaxed screenings occur on the first Sunday of each month* at 11am.
