ODEON just the ticket for Bristol’s Cabot Circus

ODEON has signed for a new cinema venue at Hammerson’s Cabot Circus in Bristol.

Opening next year, the cinema brand becomes the 10th new occupier to sign at Cabot Circus in 2024, as Hammerson looks to bring new brands and experiences to the central Bristol shopping destination.

Hammerson said a cinema was the most requested leisure experience, according to a survey, with the ODEON signing underpinning the group’s vision to create a multi-use destination.

Other leisure operators which have recently signed at Cabot Circus include King Pins Bowl – which will open its 16,500 sq ft bowling, gaming, and leisure venue next year – and Treetop Golf, which is set to open in December.

Restaurant concept Six by Nico will also soon be opening at Cabot Circus, as well as Honi Poke, which chose the scheme for one of its first locations outside London.

Retail signings made in 2024 at Cabot Circus include Marks & Spencer, which is making its return to Bristol city centre, with a fit-out now underway. Meanwhile, Inditex-owned brand Stradivarius and leisure brand Lids opened at the scheme earlier this year.

Toby Tait, director of asset management at Hammerson, said: “Cabot Circus is proud of its record providing Bristol with a leading cinema which acts as a key draw to both our destination and the wider city centre. This new partnership with ODEON is the culmination of months of hard work to select the best operator and bring the latest technology and experience into a completely renewed cinema venue. It adds to our growing line-up of restaurants and entertainment venues, specifically introduced to boost day and night experiences at Cabot Circus in the heart of Bristol.”
