Dementia Friendly: Calamity Jane

The story of Calamity Jane, her saloon, and her romance with Wild Bill Hickok.

Dementia-Friendly Screening

Join us at Saffron Screen for our dedicated Dementia-Friendly screening—a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the magic of the big screen in a relaxed, safe, and supportive environment.

We warmly welcome individuals living with dementia, alongside their families, friends, and carers. To ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience for everyone, we make a few gentle adjustments to our standard screenings:

• Time to Socialise: Doors open a full hour before the film starts. Tickets are just £5 and include a free hot drink and biscuits, giving you plenty of time to chat, relax, and settle into the space before the movie begins.

• Relaxed Environment: The cinema lights will remain on a low level throughout the film, and the sound will be set to a lower, consistent volume.

• No Rushing: There are absolutely no trailers or adverts before the film starts.

• Mid-Film Break: We include a 15-minute interval halfway through the movie to stretch your legs or use the facilities.

• Freedom of Movement: Noise, movement, and singing along are completely natural and welcomed here—please feel free to express yourself!

Free carer tickets are available for CEA Card holders. If you have any specific accessibility questions or require a headset for our induction loop, please reach out to our team.
