Parking

Merlin Cinemas are hugely grateful to Torbay Council for their ongoing support for local businesses. An agreement has been reached between us to ensure that you have access to floors 1 - 5 at the Lower Union Lane multi-storey car park (directly behind the cinema) up until midnight every day!

This partnership ensures that cinema-goers have somewhere sheltered to park and can walk under cover to our front door. Plus, there are 500 spaces, so there's plenty of room!

Disabled Facilities

New Central Cinema is housed within a converted building across multiple levels.

Access The entrance and foyer is on the ground floor with wheelchair access to Screens 1, 2 and 3, as well as the bar and restaurant. There is no wheelchair access to Screen 4 currently. Wheelchair access will be added as progress is made with the wider building conversion. All other screens do have wheelchair access.

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. Look out for the logo 

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.
