New Ealing Cinema Launches Membership Scheme |
||||
The Ealing Project offering early bird discount if you sign up before opening
Discounted memberships are currently being offered to a cinema complex being opened in Ealing. The Ealing Project is a three-screen cinema, a café, a bar and community room planned at the site of the former Karma Club at the Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre. The people behind it say that it will be opening ‘this Summer’ and in the meantime they are offering discounted membership. Those signing up will receive free cinema tickets, discounts on food and drinks in the venue, further reductions on cinema tickets and more. If the cinema meets its intended timetable for opening it will be operating before the Picturehouse multiplex opens in the Filmworks development. The latest estimated launch date for this much delayed scheme is towards the end of this year.
The cost of annual adult membership of The Ealing Project will be £31.50 for anyone who signs up before the opening date after which point they will charge £45 a year. This scheme includes five tickets and gives members 20% off all future tickets (for the member and a guest/family), 20% off all food and drink in the venue, a free drink on first purchase, invites to quarterly member events and a 3 month free MUBI trial. A discount Membership is also available for students, over fifties, NHS and Bluelight card holders which is priced at £28 on opening or £19.60 before that date. This scheme includes four tickets and all the other perks of the full membership. Memberships will run for 12 months from activation. We have asked the Really Local Group what protection members would have in the event of a delayed launch or cancellation of the project. In addition to the cinema and community room there will be a stage for live music performance and space to exhibit art by local artists at the Ealing Project. You can buy your membership now online. The Ealing Project is being set up by the Really Local Group which says it aims to create and restore cultural infrastructure by ‘putting the heart back into the high street’, which will act as a catalyst for the wider regeneration of the local area. The company tries to provide inclusive and affordable venues for communities, designed to reflect their locality and act as a community ‘hub’. Its first venue, Catford Mews, opened September 2019, and was followed by a second venue, Reading Biscuit Factory in July 2021. It has several additional sites already in the pipeline as well as Ealing, including Bermondsey, Sidcup, Canning Town, Sutton and Hayes (and more) which it hopes to deliver over the next two years.
