Hammerson announces the signing of ODEON as a major new addition to its evolving line-up of vibrant entertainment, dining, family and social experiences at Cabot Circus. A new cinema was the leisure experience most requested in a customer survey by Hammerson this year and the new signing underpins the overall vision to create a multi-use destination in central Bristol.
The UK’s largest cinema brand will open its venue next year, including all of its most up to date guest features for the ultimate big screen experience. ODEON is the 10th new occupier to sign at Cabot Circus this year, part of a drive to bring new brands and experiences to central Bristol to boost the daytime and evening offer for customers.
Other recently agreed leisure operators include King Pins Bowl which will open its 16,500 sq ft venue featuring bowling, gaming and leisure activities next year. Meanwhile, Treetop Golf is opening this December to deliver a new and immersive golf experience. Popular gastronomical concept, Six by Nico, will soon be opening at Cabot Circus as well as Honi Poke, which chose Cabot Circus as one of its first sites outside London.
Key retail signings include Marks & Spencer which is marking a strategic return to the city centre, with fit-out works now underway. Inditex-owned Stradivarius and leisure brand, Lids, opened earlier this year while H&M recently celebrated a year since opening its H&M Home store.
Toby Tait, Director of Asset Management at Hammerson, commented: “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.”
