This is when Hastings’ ODEON cinema will reopen

The Queens Road cinema was forced to close alongside other cinemas in the UK back in March as the country went into lockdown.

A staement on the company’s webside said: “We’re delighted to announce ODEON Hastings will reopen its doors from July 16, and you can book tickets now.

“We’ve made lots of changes to create a new safer cinema experience for you, and we look forward to welcoming you back.”
