World Alzheimer's Month at Plymouth Arts Cinema
Published on 06 September 2022 09:40 AM
Plymouth Arts Cinema will be marking World Alzheimer’s month with relaxed screenings, especially suitable for those living with Dementia.
- The house lights are left on low and the sound turned down a little.
- There are no pre-feature adverts or trailers and the film starts at the time advertised.
- Maximum capacity in the cinema will be reduced to 50% (50 people).
- All tickets are £4. You can book in advance online or from the Box Office. Or you can buy your ticket from the Box Office on the day of the screening.
- Seating is allocated on our booking system, which means if you book in advance, you will be asked to select a seat. But if on the day you would like to sit somewhere else, talk to a member of the team, and they will do their best to transfer your ticket to another available seat. During the screening, you can also move around, stretch your legs, and change seats, but please be mindful of other people’s personal space. For safety reasons, please note that running isn’t allowed in the cinema.
- Information to help you choose your seat: air circulation in the cinema is feeding from each side of the auditorium. It should feel cooler near the aisles on the front rows, warmer at the back.
- You can take your own soft drinks and snacks into the cinema. You can also buy drinks and snacks from the Box Office and take them in with you. Click here to view the current menu.
- You are welcome to bring personal items that will help you enjoy the film (such as blankets, ear defenders) but do not disrupt other people’s cinematic experience.

FISHERMAN'S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL
Following the unexpected success of their debut album “No Hopers, Jokers and Rogues” we re-join the world's oldest ‘buoy band’ a year later struggling to navigate the pressures, pitfalls and temptations of their newfound fame. Fisherman’s Friends: One and All follows the celebrated shanty singers through the highs and lows as lifelong friendships are put to the test and they battle the dreaded ‘curse of the second album’.
To prepare your visit, you can take a virtual tour of the venue on Arts University Plymouth’s website here. Click on the pin marked “Tavistock Place” to start a tour from the main entrance, or click on the pin marked “Plymouth Arts Cinema” for a 360-degree view of the auditorium. Or feel free to pop in during opening hours (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday: 5-8.30pm; Wednesday: 1-8.30pm; Saturday: 1-8pm): a member of the team will be happy to give you a tour of our spaces, including the cinema if it is not in use.
