Accessibility

At Film Unit, we believe that cinema is for everyone. That’s why it's important to us that no access issue gets in the way of you enjoying the cinema experience.

That's why all of our matinee screenings are hard of hearing friendly, we have dedicated wheelchair spaces in our auditorium and we hold regular autism friendly screenings throughout the year. If you have any other accessibility requirements or suggestions to improve our service, don't hesitate to get in touch.
