Relaxed Screening: Solo: A Star Wars Story 2D (12A)
Discover how gifted space adventurer Han Solo first met his beloved future co-pilot as he journeys through the galaxy on a series of dangerous missions.
Solo: A Star Wars Story follows a twenty-something Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) on some of his earliest deep space adventures.
Along the way, we witness his first encounter with future sidekick, Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), as well as Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) and a number of shady individuals from the criminal underworld.
Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!, Beautiful Creatures) stars in the iconic role, first made famous by Harrison Ford in Star Wars: A New Hope (1977). Woody Harrelson (Venom, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Terminator Genisys), and Warwick Davis (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2) make up part of the stellar supporting cast.

Relaxed Screenings
Relaxed screenings are specially tailored for film fans who may be on the autistic spectrum, have Tourette Syndrome, anxiety, sensory difficulties or other learning disabilities.
The cinema environment is tailored to the needs of the audience by having the lights dimmed, though not off, and the volume levels a little lower than usual. Attendees are free to sit in whichever seat they like and can enter and exit the room at any time, with easy access for any wheelchair users. Staff are trained and ready to assist with any help the audience may need during these trips to the cinema at Barbican.
