Subtitled Performances - We run captioned performances whenever possible on both weekend and weekday screenings. Check the website or call the cinema directly.

Relaxed/Autism Friendly Screenings - Relaxed/Autism friendly screenings are subtly-adapted screenings which create an environment that is welcoming for people with a range of conditions such as autism, learning disabilities and cognitive disorders. They have sound levels turned down, the lights left on at a low level and there are no trailers or adverts at the beginning of the film. Film-goers are able to make noise and to sit where they feel most comfortable. These screenings are usually the first Sunday in the month and often the first show of the day to avoid crowds. 

CEA Carer Card - Merlin Cinemas participate with the CEA card which is a national concessionary card developed by the UKCA for UK cinemas. This allows people with disabilities to obtain one free ticket for a person accompanying them to the cinema. The aim of the CEA Card is to provide a consistent voluntary approach to the provision of complimentary tickets for people with disabilities. To find out more at the CEA Card website click here. CEA Cards are accepted for films on general release and event cinema, some restrictions may apply on private screenings. 

Brief description

https://penzance.merlincinemas.co.uk/home 

"This early hall was converted in 1912 to the plans of Frederick Drewitt, into a full-time cinema, opening on 29th November 1912 as the Picture Theatre. Seating was provided for 480. It was described in the press as being ‘The handsomest Picture Palace in the country - outside the West End of London’. By 1919 it was operated by Penzance Cinemas Ltd. and in the 1920’s it was re-named The Cinema and was the first cinema in the town to install talking pictures.

In 1937, a new owner took over and it was re-named Savoy Cinema. It was taken over by the Jackson Withers circuit of Cardiff in 1942 and they were sold to the Rank Organisation in 1977. Rank sold it to the current operator Geoff Greaves; Merlin Cinemas on 1st June 1990.
