Support the charity MediCinema and see Garfield early this May

Cineworld is a proud supporter of the life-changing charity MediCinema and this May we've got a special treat for film fans. We're presenting our MediCinema screening of The Garfield Movie, starring Chris Pratt as the voice of the iconic ginger cat.

It's one of this summer's must-see family movies and through our collaboration with MediCinema, people get to see it early. Scroll down for more information including MediCinema's mission to make people feel better with film.

What is MediCinema?

MediCinema is a charity that recognises the hardships and restrictions placed on those in care, which can extend for days, weeks and even months at a time.

MediCinema's mission is to bring the magic of motion pictures to those who need it the most by building, installing and running cinemas in NHS hospitals.

All the latest releases are screened for free, and audiences can watch from their beds and wheelchairs. These environments become safe and immersive havens away from the wards for patients and their families.

MediCinema opened its first screen in 1999 and now showcases six sites. It plans to double the number of sites and triple its reach by 2025.

Ultimately, MediCinema believes in the power of cinema – a good film enjoyed together makes everyone feel better. Among MediCinema's celebrated A-list patrons are Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.

When is the MediCinema screening of Garfield taking place?

The MediCinema screening of The Garfield Movie is happening on May 12th ahead of the film's wide release on May 18th. All profits go towards supporting this life-changing charity.
