Join us this Deaf Awareness Week for a special open captioned screening of The Magic Faraway Tree, a heartwarming adventure for all ages. This beloved story brings to life a world of imagination, friendship, and discovery, following a group of children who stumble upon an extraordinary tree filled with magical lands and curious characters.
Our open captioned screening ensures that Deaf and hard of hearing audiences can fully enjoy the film, with subtitles that include not only dialogue but also important sound cues and music descriptions. We are proud to support accessible cinema experiences and celebrate the richness of Deaf culture and community.
We also offer WatchWord glasses for selected screenings, providing personal closed captions directly in your line of sight. Films where these are available are clearly marked on our website and in our printed programme, giving you more flexibility in how you experience cinema with us.
Deaf Awareness Week is a time to recognise the barriers that Deaf people can face and to champion inclusion, understanding, and equal access in all areas of life, including the arts. By offering both open captioned screenings and assistive technology, we aim to create a welcoming space where everyone can share in the joy of storytelling on the big screen.
Whether you’re revisiting a childhood favourite or discovering this magical tale for the first time, we invite you to experience the wonder together. Everyone is welcome—families, friends, and film lovers alike.
Come along, enjoy the adventure, and be part of a more inclusive cinema experience.
