The Hastings community have come up trumps yet again. Through nervousness around Covid, lockdown and social distancing restrictions, the Electric Palace was heading towards closure. A fundraiser was launched and has saved the much-loved Electric Palace from closing its doors for good. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths, a supporter, is much relieved and amazed at Hastings’ generosity – as are the founders of the cinema.
With great sadness the Electric Palace recently announced that it had to close their doors for January. Due to the understandable concerns over the Omicron variant, January film bookings and venue hire were at an all-time low – consequently, for the time being it is not financially viable to open. However, all is not lost as HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths found out: they launched a fundraiser with the target of £15,000, and there they are – over the line. Yippee!
Join in with an extended weekend of looking ahead to the future with a selection of curated films, Q&As and special events at the Electric Palace cinema in Hastings Old Town, says Annie Waite.
Join a live film event for Coastal Currents 2021, plus a spoken word workshop and live poetry performance at the Electric Palace from Poetics club members including Mae Kilha, says Annie Waite.
See film adaptations of inspirational books and discuss your opinions in a friendly and open discussion forum after the screenings at Electric Palace cinema, says Annie Waite.
