Dementia Friendly Cinemas have proven to be very therapeutic for people with memory problems and their families. Besides engaging the brain and stimulating emotions, being part of an audience enjoying a film helps people with dementia and their carers to feel less isolated and also challenges the stigma associated with the condition.
All Nostalgic Cinema performances have subtitles to assist full enjoyment of the film by any members of the audience who are hard of hearing.
Whilst promoted as a dementia friendly screening, we hope anyone who loves the old films will come along for an afternoon of fond memories.
Tickets £5 - includes hot drink, biscuits and chat after the screening.
Ticket price includes £1 admin fee
Seats are not allocated for these showings.
Nostalgic Cinema screenings are kindly sponsored by Churchill Retirement Living - specialists in developing attractive, purpose-built retirement apartments.

Jeanine Tesori / Libretto by George Brant
Grounded (Met Premiere)
Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded premieres at the
Metropolitan Opera, wrestling with often-overlooked issues created by 21st-century warmaking:
the ethical conflicts created by the use of modern military technology and the psychological and
emotional toll supposedly safe remote technology takes on our servicepeople. Canadian mezzo
soprano Emily D’Angelo stars as the hot-shot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her
out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the
world. American tenor Ben Bliss costars as the Wyoming rancher Eric in a production by
Michael Mayer that brings this story to life in a high-tech staging which presents a variety of
perspectives on the action. Met Music Director Yannick Ne´ zet-Se´ guin takes the podium to
conduct Tesori’s kaleidoscopic opera.
