Dementia Friendly Film Showings May to July
Wem Town Hall is proud to be offering access to the arts for dementia and memory loss sufferers. Dementia Friendly Showings are open to all but will be more relaxed, with lights on and sound level low with specially trained ushers on hand to assist. All timings include a 20 minute interval with refreshments! Tickets at £5, carers free (price includes a tea and biscuit) Here is what our customers have been saying about Dementia Friendly Showings they have attended: “So wonderful. Enjoyed it so much. The atmosphere and facilities are brilliant. Very reasonably priced too.” “Just what Wem needs. There’s nothing for people with dementia unless you are prepared to travel. Dad is Mum’s carer but does not like driving very far.” Our Dementia Friendly Screenings are supported by: Are you a Shropshire Housing Group tenant? Transport is available on request for tenants to our dementia friendly showings. For more information please email info@wemtownhall.co.uk.

How can these showings help a person living with dementia?
Many people living with dementia feel isolated, cut off from society and their local community. An afternoon at a relaxed cinema screening can re-engage people living with dementia and leave them feeling enriched. A regular cinema screening can be daunting with loud music, dark shadows and inaccessible seating. At a relaxed seating, audiences can sing, dance and move around in a relaxed and warmly lit environment with more comfortable sound levels and trained ushers on hand who understand patrons’ needs.

Tickets are available to book online at www.wemtownhall.co.uk or through our Reception on 01939 232299. Unfortunately we are unable to offer carers tickets online.
