Audio description is a special service for blind and visually impaired cinemagoers. For selected films, a narration track is played through a special headset and fills the gaps between dialogue by describing what’s happening on screen. The track is undetectable to anyone not wearing a headset and so doesn’t affect their viewing experience.
To see which films have audio description, look for the ‘Audio described’ label next to a film’s time on the website and App; you can also call our dedicated booking line or ask at the Box Office. If you need the induction loop or a headset, please ask a member of staff when you arrive – we can also recommend the best seats to use in the screen.

There are a number of films which have a period set by the distributor which is referred to as ‘Free List Suspended’. This means that for that set time certain free tickets and vouchers can not be used against this film until after the free-list suspension has ceased.
Free list suspended films do not apply to CEA cards holders on their free carer ticket, Member’s free tickets or Meerkat Movies.
You can find more details and an up-to-date list of these films here.
