Curzon launch revamped Community Screenings this September
| Curzon Cinemas announced today a revamped programme of community screenings which include Kids Club, Baby Club, Dog Days, Captioned Screenings, Silver Screen, and Autism and Demtia-friendly screenings, expanding Curzon’s inclusive screening programme for all cinema lovers. Alex Sheldon, Director of Operations at Curzon said; ‘After consultation with our customers and the local communities around our cinemas, we have revamped our community screenings to reflect what people have asked of us. Curzon aims to be an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome and can enjoy cinema in an environment tailored to their needs. As we progress with these new strands we welcome feedback from our customers to ensure they are working for everyone as intended.’ |
