Cineworld, Hanley – ‘The Polar Express’ [1 hr 39 mins] TBC

social story – Going to the Cinema

Kindly note:

– If the screen is not located on the ground floor, Fela will need to be to be told he is going in the lift. You can encourage him to press the button.

– A special keto snack will be supplied to Fela before he leaves the cinema to discourage Fela from grabbing a chocolate bar as he did the last time.  Fela cannot have the popcorn at the cinema.

-Please be aware that the open air car park on Bryant Street now operates ticketless system so you will need to punch in the car registration number at the machine before leaving the car park. The coin machine does not always work so please take one of your debit cards just in case you can recover the money from the petty cash later.
