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.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
