The Wizard of Oz is next Dementia Friendly screening at the Plaza on 22nd February

The event is supported by Dementia Friends trained staff and volunteers. The screening will take place in screen 1, our largest auditorium which has been restored to its art deco glory, and captures all the wonder of going to the pictures.

We will maintain low level lighting throughout the auditorium and can adjust the volume to suit your needs.

As always, we will pause the film around the half-way mark for a short break to serve complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits.

Please see below for further details about the film:
