We’re teamed up with the Dementia Action Alliance to bring back the popular Wednesday Matinee Club film screenings at St Margaret’s Hall.
The Wednesday Matinee Club is a monthly, fully accessible and dementia-friendly film club in Bradford on Avon. Each screening gives people the chance to enjoy a film, meet new people and catch up with old friends in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Each film costs £6 to attend but carers can attend for free, and refreshments are available.
What makes the screenings dementia-friendly?
The screenings are designed to provide a relaxed and comfortable cinema experience for people living with dementia, as well as their carers, friends and other members of the community.
The features include:
- the hall lights are kept on during the film
- large subtitles are shown on screen
- there is an intermission during the film
- refreshments are available
- carers attend free of charge.
What films are part of the Wednesday matinee programme?
The films to the end of the year are:
- Song Sung Blue (2025) – Wednesday 16 September
- Big Eyes (2014) – Wednesday 14 October
- The Christophers (2025) – Wednesday 11 November
- Book Club (2018) – Wednesday 9 December.
