The Dome Cinema

Worthing

The stunning Edwardian cinema first opened in April 1911 and has been fully restored to its former glory and is once again open to the public.

With a friendly team of staff, this is certainly the place to go and be entertained with your film of choice. There are three screens, including the opulent main auditorium, seating 500, the more intimate Screen 2, with newly refurbished Premier seating, and the new Screen 3, with 41 seats (including some double seats) and wall-to-wall picture.

AUTISM FRIENDLY SCREENINGS

For those on the autistic spectrum and with learning disabilities - along with their families and friends. These screenings run one Saturday a month. Tickets are charged at peak pricing.

Disability Friendly Screenings run with reduced volume and with the lights left on low during the film, to provide a relaxed space for guests to enjoy their film of choice. These screenings run in our intimate Screen 3, which features 2 wheelchair spaces. Due to the restricted capacity, only those on the autistic spectrum or with learning disabilities (and their carers, family or friends) may attend. Those customers requiring a wheelchair space are advised to pre-book as early as possible.

The screenings run without any adverts and trailers, so the actual film will begin at the advertised programme time.
