There’s just something about the cinema, isn’t there?

The hush before the trailers. That first burst of popcorn. The oversized drink you didn’t need but absolutely bought. Whether it’s a cheeky date night, solo self-care, a family trip, or just a boredom buster, nothing quite beats it.

And now, Purpl members can enjoy it all for less – with up to 40% off cinema tickets, as a discount for disabled people in the UK, thanks to our new partnership with The Cinema Society.

We’ve teamed up to bring you exclusive discounts at top UK chains like Vue, ODEON, Showcase, and IMC Cinemas, to name just a few. That means cheaper tickets for blockbusters, animations, indie gems and everything in between – with savings that actually make going to the cinema feel doable again.

Accessibility at UK Cinemas

We know that for many disabled people, the cinema experience can be hit or miss – but the good news is Vue, ODEON, Showcase, The Light Cinemas, IMC, and others, all offer a wide range of accessibility options, such as:

  • Wheelchair access and companion seating
  • Subtitled (captioned) screenings
  • Audio description
  • Autism-friendly screenings
  • Free carer/companion tickets (usually with a CEA Card)

Each venue may vary slightly, so we recommend checking with your local cinema in advance – or having a quick browse online.
