Our dementia-friendly films are fun, social events for people living with dementia and their friends, family and carers.
A film screening a month, carefully chosen to inspire, excite, agitate and spark conversation. They might be films you already know, or titles you've had on your 'to watch list' for years, either way, come and discover (or rediscover!) our first Moviedrome titles for 2026.
