The Odeon was a huge cinema for Sittingbourne. On Saturday mornings I used to queue along the orchestra rail for an ice cream but I was more interested in viewing the vast auditorium from there. Although it was very large, I saw Dr No and Jason and the Argonauts in almost full houses.

The 8 screen Light Cinema opposite the station is well advanced with March 2020 as a likely opening date. This could affect the future of the cinema half of the New Century.

There are plans in the pipeline to convert the New Century Cinema building into a night club.

I am sad to relate that the New Century Cinema has now closed down. It played its final film on Thursday 26 February 2009. The cinema was closed due to dwindling attendances.
