Odeon Share Your Memories

Share your memories and help preserve an important piece of Ashford's history

From blockbuster films and children's matinees to bingo nights and community events, the former Odeon/Mecca Bingo building has been at the heart of local life for decades.

We're delighted that Ashford Borough Council is moving forward with plans to bring the building back into cultural use. Through two recent community engagement sessions, we've already collected some wonderful memories and insights, demonstrating just how much affection there is for this iconic building.

Now we'd like to hear from you.

Do you have a memory, photograph, programme, ticket stub or story connected to the Odeon?
