Audio Aids
Sennheiser Infra Red enhanced hearing headsets are available in the Old Market Hall to amplify sound for hard of hearing patrons. They can be worn with or without a hearing aid.

What are Caption Subtitles?
Deaf or hearing impaired customers who cannot use our audio aids because of incompatibility with their hearing aid, or due to a greater level of hearing loss, may rely on subtitling to let them ‘hear’ the film dialogue (in the same way hearing customers rely on subtitles to understand a foreign language film).

These Caption Subtitles provide much more information than “normal” English subtitles. They also inform the cinema goer when something is sung rather then spoken, when significant music is happening, often providing the lyrics, or of significant sound effects (eg phone rings, doorbell chimes, etc) – especially those taking place off screen.

Booking Information:

If you have a disability you are entitled to receive 50% discount off full price seats. Should you need the service of a companion, their ticket is also half price. Proof of eligibility will be required. Patrons must state discounts and produce proof of eligibility at the time of booking, as discounts cannot be applied retrospectively.

Matinee and early evening showings:

Adults: £7.50
Concessions: £6
To book Wheelchair/Disabled concessions and groups of 10 or more, please contact the Box Office on 01743 281281 between 11 am and 7 pm, Monday to Saturday

Event title: Hospital provision in Shropshire
Venue: The Centre, Oak Street, Oswestry, SY11 1LW
Name: N/A
Email: N/A
Telephone: N/A
Event description: There are too many questions being left in the air after our October meeting. For example:

• Why is Shropshire CCG in special measures?
• Why wasn’t a decision about the future of our hospital provision made on October 1st as promised?
• How much is this all costing?
• What exactly is an Urgent Care Centre? And will we get one if we don’t have any beds in Oswestry?
• What is happening about Community Fit?
• We have two very senior representatives from NHS Future Fit coming over to tell us what the current situation is.

They will be here to answer our questions and address our concerns. So please be there to ask them.

This links to their most recent bulletin:

Admission will be £1 at the door. By using The Centre, we are hoping that some of the young people who use The Centre will get involved.

Event title: Shropshire Deaf & Hard of Hearing Forum
Venue: Trinity Centre, Meole Brace, Shrewsbury SY3 9HF
Name: Hugh Battersby
Email: hugh.battersby@gmail.com
Telephone: 01691-624669
Event description: We would be pleased if you would join us for our first meeting of 2016.

We have guest speakers to welcome:

• Wendy Southall, lead commissioner for, inter alia, audiology services at Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group, will talk to us about future arrangements for the provision of hearing aids, especially under the Any Qualified Provider scheme. This really is a subject of vital interest to all of us. Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin CCGs have always been extremely helpful and cooperative, and fund an excellent audiology service at the two hospitals, but there are serious financial problems at the moment. We all need to attend, to show our interest and to make clear the fact that untreated deafness makes people miserably lonely and prone to far more serious – and expensive – problems, not the least being dementia.
• Lyndon Thomas, a Hearing Link volunteer, will explain how the Text Relay System works.
• Darren Wilkins, Head of Paediatric Audiology Services at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust will talk about their services for children and young people.
