THE Courtyard hosted Hereford's first ever dog friendly screening, and it was "a tail-wagging success!"

Fourteen dogs attended a screening of Patrick (PG) with their human friends on August 3 which was enjoyed thoroughly by all.

One attendee said "It was great to bring (my dog) as he is part of the family."

One dog customer @ralphchewington posted his appreciation on Instagram, "I really loved it. Thanks for hosting this special screening including us doggos in the fun."

Due to the success of this initial event, the team behind it are already looking at potential titles to host another dog friendly screening for in the future.

A spokesperson from The Courtyard said "It's great for us to be able to utilise our unique studio space and offer experiences that customers would not get at bigger chain cinemas."

It's not only this unique screening that The Courtyard offer, they also host regular Dementia Friendly screenings, suitable for those living with dementia and Relaxed screenings, that may particularly benefit individuals with autism spectrum conditions, learning difficulties or sensory and communication difficulties.
