If people need the toilet, or want refreshments, they do not need to push past you – all together an excellent experience N.B. The Odyssey cinema is named after the 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey” that was produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick who lived locally at Childwickbury Manor.…

Being able to order food and drinks and have it delivered to where you are sitting is an added bonus. I highly recommend a visit (or 12).…
