Missions and objectives |
Our Project aims to re-purpose the historic, listed building of the Old Acton Library to include a two- screen cinema, a bar/café, and a performance space on the ground floor. The project aims to benefit all the residents of, and visitors to, Acton through the provision of a centrally located, welcoming, community space. Our desired outcomes include regeneration of the high street and revival of the night time economy while promoting community cohesion through the provision of a much-needed destination for residents. By occupying the Old Library on Acton High Street we will also be preserving an historic building for the public use it was originally intended for. |
Main Activities |
Our cinema brings you the latest quality independent films, world cinema, documentaries, film festivals and film-maker events, and the occasional quality blockbuster. A large events space can be hired for private and public events, and the rest of the ground floor has a new bar and cafe run by the wonderful Bears Ice Cream Company and a relaxing lounge area with free Wi-Fi. The ground floor is fully accessible with a ramp at the front of the building, there is a wheelchair space in the auditorium and new toilets that are fully accessible. |
