Children


We understand that the graduation ceremony is a celebration of your achievement and that you may wish to share it with younger members of your immediate family and carers. However our students’ screenings are an expression of their creativity and may contain adult topics and themes and hence may be unsuitable for younger audiences. In light of this we have adjusted our guidance. Mature children may be invited, but we ask you to note the following:

  • If you do wish to bring children, they will need to be seated with a guest as we are unable to seat children with graduates.
  • Please note that there are no concessions.
  • Childcare facilities are not available at the venue.
  • All films will include trigger warnings at the start, but it will be solely at the parents discretion to remove children from the screening. We take no responsibility for this.
