Harrogate ODEON gives date to reopen
ODEON has announced its Harrogate cinema will reopen on 16 July with tickets going on sale online today.
Customers can expect to buy tickets for classic films such as 1914, Empire Strikes Back and The Greatest Showman. New releases will begin by the end of July.
The new 'ODEON safer experience' will be a little different to what film-lovers are used to. It will be a contactless experience with the usual boxes of popcorn being replaced by pre-packaged options. The new grab and go range will also limit customers to bottled drinks.
Family groups and social bubbles will be allowed to sit next together, but between separate customers there will be an unoccupied seat. Staggered show times will also limit the chance of long queues.
Staff will be trained on the new safety measures and equipped with masks and gloves.
