Siblings without SEND are welcome to join.

Guests can also get free popcorn.

What makes it “SEND-Friendly”?

Manchester Parent Carer Forum (MPCF) is committed to making the event as welcoming and comfortable as possible. You can expect:

• This event is exclusive to families and groups that are accompanying children and young people with additional needs and/or disabilities.
• Peace of Mind – All MPCF staff and volunteers have lived experience of SEND so you can rest assured that there will be a level of empathy and understanding with any needs or quirks that may arise on the day. Please speak to a member of the team if you have a request to make for a better experience.
• A Quieter Experience – The cinema will reduce the volume if needed and we can request for some lights to be kept on, ensuring that your visit will not be too overwhelming.
• Accessibility – Wheelchair and buggy users can enter the cinema via the level access door for those that need it. We can display subtitles if needed.
• In Your Own Time – No need to rush and bustle. Whether you are coming late or have to leave early, it’s okay with us.

Important Notes:

• You will remain responsible for your family’s safety and well-being during the cinema session. Please ensure that your children are supervised by a responsible adult at all times during the screening.
• This session is part of Manchester’s SEND Community Offer. The cinema screening is exclusively for families of children and young people with SEND living in a ward/area covered by Manchester City Council.
• Let us know if you wish to make table reservations for a post-movie bite-to-eat. This weekend, GRUB will have stallholders at their Food Fair downstairs from the cinema: enjoy amazing food from the likes of Pizza Mutt. Please note that your ticket only covers table reservations; food and drink purchases will be at your own cost.
• Use of the cinema is subject to GRUB/Cultplex’s terms and conditions. Please ensure that you’ve read the T&Cs before booking.
