Audio Description
Audio description (AD) is a narrated soundtrack where the action, scene changes and the actors' body language is described with people with sight loss. This additional soundtrack is broadcast through wireless headsets so only the wearer can hear it, and fits within the silent gaps in the film so it doesn't interfere with the dialogue. Headsets are available to borrow at the box office. Customers are advised to ask a member of staff for a headset on arrival and should be handed back to a customer after the screening. AD is available in all screens for every film where an AD track has been created. To find out if a performance is available with AD, please check the film listings on our website where they are clearly identified, ask a member of staff at the cinema, or contact the Accessibility Helpline.
Customers with hearing impairment
Customers with hearing impairments need to request a set of headphones from the box office staff that will amplify the film soundtrack.
The headsets work in all of our screens.
The Regal puts on two subtitled shows per week, these will be clearly marked in the listings.
