Dementia-friendly screening of the 1954 musical 'White Christmas', starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, at The Odyssey Cinema.
The Odyssey Cinema is showing White Christmas on Tuesday 15 December, a dementia-friendly screening of the 1954 musical. It starts at 10:00 and runs for two hours and twenty-five minutes, so you'll be out well before lunch.
If you're not familiar with the film, it's the one where Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye star as performers who put on a Christmas show to help save a Vermont inn. Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen are in it too, and it's exactly the kind of festive classic that works well as a morning trip. The screening is presented as dementia-friendly, with adjustments made to the usual cinema experience to make it more accessible.
The Odyssey itself is an independent single-screen Art Deco cinema on London Road, and it's one of the better spots in St Albans for this sort of thing. They programme new releases alongside classics, event cinema and special screenings, and they've got licensed bars on site if you fancy a drink before or after. It's a proper cinema, not a multiplex, which suits a mid-morning screening like this.
