About

Founded in 2002, The Electric Palace cinema has grown into a well loved, independent community cinema in the heart of Hastings Old Town, East Sussex, UK.

22 years on and, particularly since the pandemic, cinema attendance habits are changing, rising costs are having an impact, and it's becoming harder and harder to sustain small cinemas. It's a battle for survival in the cinema world at the moment, us included. We also have goals to continue the necessary upgrades to the interior and facilities in the venue, and make repairs following our recent break in.

Any support you can offer us will help to keep the Electric Palace thriving and enable us to continue put on an eclectic roster of films and events for the Hastings community. Thank you so much for your consideration.

You can support The Electric Palace Cinema with a one off or a regular donation.

PLUS! Join us for our National Cinema Day Auction and Memorabilia Sale 2024:

Drop in on Saturday 7 September any time between 2.30pm – 5.30pm to pick up some cool film-related items and support the Electric Palace at the same time! Find out more on the Electric Palace website.

Cinema habits and the new reality
Run entirely by part-time staff and volunteers, Hastings’ special independent cinema has been serving the community for 22 years. Facing rising costs, independent cinemas are struggling to survive across the country, with venues like the historic Electric Cinema in Birmingham closing down, and more locally the Sussex Exchange.
As a community interest company the Electric Palace is a not-for-profit organisation but is still subject to 20% VAT on all its ticket prices. Without regular external funding it relies solely on its ticket and bar income to cover its costs.

Annie Mannion, the Electric Palace cinema’s co-director, says:
“In order to maintain our lovely venue and make necessary repairs and improvements following our recent break-in we are launching this new fundraising event.
You came out in force as the amazing community you are when we held a post-Covid fundraiser which enabled us to continue through a particularly tricky period. Please do join us on Saturday 7th September, and head out to the cinema when you can and enjoy new releases and other gems in the company of others.”
