The Acton Pop Up

Not only have we finally opened the Act One Cinema but we managed to secure the new James Bond film for our first screenings. The whole community is very excited! We would never had achieved this without all your crowdfunding and volunteering support. You have made this happen and we look forward to seeing you very soon

The old Acton Library closed to the public in 2014.  After a long journey, we are finally opening the doors to the public once more. Please join us for this historic event! Our very first exhibition will open on Friday 27th August 2021.  Do come along to see  this wonderful collection of photographs - Prop Houses by Jasper Fry. The exhibition will be running for two weeks, from 10.00am to 4.00pm daily.  We are so pleased to be welcoming you back into the building, do come along and say hello.

The seats are installed and we had our first opportunity to try them out on Wednesday evening. 57 volunteers attended our evening meeting to discuss the operation of the cinema and the important role that they will be playing. Thank you for coming along and being the first crowd to experience our pop up!

Thanks to Richard and Dan - the cinema construction is speeding along. Steve Haskett visited last week and took some photos for us all to see the progress.

Old Library/New Cinema Throughout May and June an amazing team of over 100 volunteers have been working hard in a magnificent combined effort to prepare the ground floor of the old Library - ready for the cinema construction. The contribution from the community has been huge! The volunteers have prepared the wooden floors for sanding and polishing, removed tons of redundant fixtures and fittings, taken down the secondary glazing from the windows, moved mountains of rubbish, prepared, cleaned and painted meters of wall and windows, cleared drains and gutters. The professionals will be starting work soon and we are still on track for opening later in the summer.
