We know many of you are eager for news about Ely Community Cinema reopening and we want to keep you updated on our progress. A dedicated team of volunteers is working hard behind the scenes to bring the cinema back as soon as possible.
What’s Happening Behind the Scenes?
There’s a lot that goes into reopening a community cinema and we’re covering all the essential steps, including:
✅ Setting up the legal entity and ensuring all paperwork is in place
✅ Managing the budget to keep the cinema running smoothly
✅ Programming screenings so we can bring you the best films
✅ Organising volunteers to keep things running like clockwork
✅ Marketing and outreach to reach as many local cinema-goers as possible
✅ Ensuring all policies are in place, including Safeguarding, First Aid, Health & Safety, Insurances and Contracts
✅ Getting the right equipment and training in place for a professional setup
We’re also taking legal advice to ensure everything is done properly. While this takes time, it’s all part of making sure the cinema is sustainable for the long term.
When Will Ely Community Cinema Reopen?
We don’t have a confirmed reopening date yet, but as soon as we do, we’ll share an update. Rest assured, we’re doing everything we can to bring your local community cinema back to Ely as soon as possible.
