Because if you can make it to north London, you can watch The Odyssey at Odeon Luxe Islington as part of the first ever Radio Times Film Night.

The inaugural Radio Times Film Night is brought to you in partnership with PLY Social, one of the UK’s fastest-growing social platforms, and will give readers the chance to see one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year alongside like-minded people.

Tickets cost just £10, and those who sign up will also receive their first month’s PLY membership free, worth £19.99.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is a bold new take on Homer’s legendary tale, with Matt Damon starring as Odysseus, the warrior-king fighting his way home through monster-haunted seas, vengeful gods and 10 years of impossible odds.

Shot on the largest film format in cinema history and built for the biggest screen possible, it promises to be a thunderous cinema event – and one film fans will want to experience in a room full of fellow movie-lovers.

The evening will begin at 6pm, when guests will arrive for a drink and meet the small group they have been matched with. The screening of The Odyssey will then begin at 6:45pm in Odeon Luxe Islington’s recliner seats, with guests able to stay on afterwards for an optional drink and chat about the film.

The night is designed with solo attendees in mind, with guests matched into small groups after taking a quick 2-minute quiz. A host will also be on hand to welcome everyone and help break the ice.

As a PLY member, you’ll not only gain access to this exclusive Radio Times Film Night, but also unlock a wide range of social experiences where you can meet like-minded people, make new connections and enjoy shared interests.

That includes the PLY Dinner Club, drinks socials, bowling nights, games evenings and more.

Seats are limited for the first Radio Times Film Night, so readers are encouraged to book soon.
