Our Autism-Friendly screenings offer a more relaxed cinema environment for neurodivergent guests and anyone who may find standard screenings challenging.
Lights are kept slightly raised, volume is lowered, and there are no trailers or adverts. Guests are welcome to move around, make noise, and leave and return as needed.

Children & Families
We offer plenty of opportunities for families to enjoy the cinema together, with weekend matinees, extra weekday screenings during the school holidays, and £6 tickets for young people aged 3–15.
We also aim to hold at least one relaxed screening every month, with slightly brighter lighting and lower volume, creating a more welcoming environment for neurodiverse children, families and friends.
You can also look out for our occasional £2 family tickets for much-loved family classics returning to the big screen.
Parent & Baby Screenings
Enjoy a cinema trip with your little one at our relaxed Parent & Baby screenings.
These special screenings are designed for parents, guardians and carers with babies under 12 months, giving you a chance to enjoy a film in a comfortable and baby-friendly environment. Tickets are offered at an off-peak price, babies go free, and there is no need to worry about baby noise during the film.
Who can attend?
Parent & Baby screenings are for adults attending with a baby under 12 months.
Adults must be accompanied by a baby under 12 months to attend.

Babies go free and do not need a ticket. They can sit on your lap during the screening.

We usually hold one Parent & Baby screening each month, typically on a Tuesday morning.
What to expect

There is plenty of leg room for car seats and bags.
Level access for prams and pushchairs is via the emergency door on the right-hand side of the cinema.

Calling all horror fans and thrill-seekers. Fright Night is our monthly horror strand at Hebden Bridge Picture House, celebrating classic and cult horror on the big screen.
From legendary titles and hidden gems to fan favourites best experienced in a cinema, Fright Night is all about the thrill of watching horror in a venue that already has plenty of atmosphere. In a cinema that is more than 100 years old, every creak and shadow adds to the experience.
We also like to make each Fright Night feel like an event, with occasional extras, themed touches and a few surprises along the way. From dress-up moments to added fun before the film, you can expect the Picture House at its beautifully spooky best.
