Access for Patrons with disabilities

Filmhouse Foyer and box office are reached via a ramped surface from Lothian Road. Our cafe/bar and disabled toilet are also at this level. The majority of the seats in the bar are not fixed and can be moved.

There is wheelchair access to all three cinemas. Cinema One has space for 2 wheelchairs and is reached via the passenger lift; Cinemas 2 and 3 have one space each and to get to these you need to use the platform lifts. Staff are always on hand to operate them - please ask at the Box Office when you purchase your tickets. Advance booking for wheelchair spaces is recommended. A second adapted unisex toilet is situated at the lower level close to Cinemas 2 and 3. If you need to bring along a helper to assist you in any way, then they will receive a complimentary ticket.

There is a large print version of our monthly print brochure available at the Box Office on request, or it can be posted out to you free of charge.

Subtitles, Audio Description & Hearing Loops

Unfortunately, our Dolby Screen Talk system, which enabled us to show onscreen subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing, and provide audio-description for the sight-impaired, was badly damaged in a small fire in our Screen One projection box in January. This equipment is now obsolete so we have been unable to replace it, but we are currently researching alternative systems. We hope that we will be able to resume subtitled and audio-described screenings in the near future. Sadly we also lost our Screen One induction loop and infra-red loop in the fire and we are currently sourcing what we hope will be superior replacements. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by this situation and also the fact that the reinstatement of facilities for our hearing impaired customers is taking longer than anticipated.
