Wherever possible, we show descriptive subtitled screenings. Descriptive subtitling is a service for the hearing-impaired or D/deaf customers who rely on English subtitling. Our programme also contains many films subtitled into English from other languages which may also be suitable.
If you would like to be added to the list for Descriptive subtitled screenings information, please email info@derbyquad.co.uk. You can also find out what subtitled films are coming up by joining our Facebook Group. Search “QUAD Subtitled Screenings” within Facebook.
Films and events available with caption subtitles and BSL are indicated on our website listings and in print. There is a Sound Plus TM Infrared Listening system in the cinemas, and an integrated Loop system in the Meeting Room and Digital Studio. There is a portable loop available
