Odeon Swadlincote sits right inside The Pipeworks complex — your go-to spot for a big screen night out without travelling too far. With five screens, it shows new releases, family films, blockbusters and occasional special screenings. The cinema’s central location, free parking, and easy access mean it’s a reliable night-out choice for folks across Swadlincote, Woodville, Burton and beyond.
From the moment you walk in, you get that familiar multiplex vibe — ticket kiosks, snack counters, and comfy seats waiting for you. Many people mention how the seating is cosy and the sound and screen quality good enough for a cracking cinema experience.
It’s especially handy if you’re heading out with family or mates — after a film you’re just steps from shops or take-aways at The Pipeworks, or a quick drive home thanks to on-site parking.
If you want a chilled evening or a fun night out without the hassle of long drives, Odeon is a top pick locally.

💡 Local Tip (from Swad locals)
If you’re watching a weekday or off-peak screening, it’s often quieter and more relaxed — perfect for a no-fuss evening. If you go during weekends or school holidays, get there early to grab the good seats (and maybe skip the crowd at the snack bar).
