Chelmsford’s First Inclusive Dementia Cinema Screening – 9 December

Posted on: November 10, 2025

We’re pleased to share that the first Chelmsford Inclusive Dementia Cinema Screening will take place on Tuesday 9 December at Chelmsford Theatre, featuring the festive classic Miracle on 34th Street.

This relaxed and dementia-accessible screening is designed with people living with dementia, their families and carers in mind, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment to enjoy a film together.

About the Screening
Doors will open at 12pm, with tea, coffee and cake available for a small donation.
The film will begin at 1pm, with a short interval partway through for comfort and movement.
The lights will be slightly raised, the volume gentle, and attendees are free to move around or talk if needed. Extra staff and clear signage will be in place to support a calm, friendly experience, and there is an accessible route into the studio.

Film: Miracle on 34th Street
The holiday season begins when a warm, twinkle-eyed gentleman is hired as Macy’s store Santa and insists his real name is Kris Kringle. His presence brings kindness, joy, and a touch of Christmas magic to everyone he meets.

Tickets – Book Tickets HERE
Tickets are £2 per person.
