Savoy Cinema invites special guests to subtitled film

Doncaster’s new Savoy Cinema had 30 special guests from Doncaster School for the Deaf for a subtitled screening of Peter Rabbit 2.

The pupils were thrilled to visit the new cinema to see an accessible version of the new film in their town.

Jane Goodman, deputy head at Doncaster School for the Deaf said: “We were so pleased that the Savoy Cinema invited our pupils along for their first subtitled film in the new cinema.

“Our pupils had a fantastic time and all really enjoyed the experience of visiting the cinema and watching a film in the new venue.

“We are pleased to be working with the Savoy Cinema to make sure that our Deaf pupils and their families know when subtitled films will be shown and to make sure that our audiences have access to the best possible film

experience.”

The 30 pupils and 20 staff enjoyed Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway as an end of term treat and were able to walk to and from the cinema from their Leger Way base at Doncaster Deaf Trust.

Lucy Cammack from the Savoy Cinema said: “We were really pleased to be able to welcome the pupils and staff from Doncaster School for the Deaf to the Savoy Cinema this week.

“The pupils all had a fabulous time, and we are looking forward to working with the school to make sure that Deaf families within the local community are aware of our subtitled showings and can make the most of the new cinema in Doncaster.”
