| It's always good to hear from you Peter and Tony. May I suggest that you sign up to receive e mails from Acton Arts? We can keep you up to date that way. www.spacehive.co.uk/theactonpopup. Long story short here. Ealing Council cannot afford to give the building for free as has happened to other Passmore Edwards buildings like the former Shepherds Bush Library.This has been clear to all concerned from the start. Finance had been found to lease the building but COVID changed everything for cinemas over the last year. With the full support of the Council we decided to try opening as a pop up for 18 months to two years. We aim to build business, provide a centre within easy distance for everyone and encourage the necessary finance. In all it will cost about £100,000,000 to renovate the listed building and build a two screen cinema. We have to show that this can be a going concern to potential backers now. Have some fun along the way too. Over 5000 supporters now. Please be one of them |
