Welcome to your community cinema, bringing the best in film to Long Ashton
Long Ashton Community Cinema is a non-profit group run by local volunteers. Our aim is to offer a wide variety of good quality films at affordable prices on your doorstep. We aim to screen at least one film at month and we want our local cinema to be a social place where the audience can have a drink and a chat before and after the screening. We strongly believe that a cinema run by the community for the community can play a vital part in village life.
Bringing people together
Going to the cinema is great with friends, but not everyone has the same taste in film, so, if you are coming on your own feel free to drop us an email - or reach up on Facebook, and we’ll make sure there is a friendly welcome when you arrive, and someone to enjoy the film with if you would like that too. Our team of volunteers love a good natter, about films, or anything else so there will always be someone to chat to.
LA Cinema – how we are funded
As a community cinema we are entirely self-funding. That means we rely heavily on ticket sales, sales from the bar and sponsorship to keep us going. We gratefully received funding from Long Ashton Parish Council to purchase our own screen, projector and audio equipment. We are always looking for new sponsors and are willing to discuss with you levels of sponsorship and donation and what we can do for you in return.

Join L A Cinema for Send Help, a thrilling blend of suspense, survival and dark comedy from acclaimed director, Sam Raimi.
After a devastating plane crash leaves two office rivals stranded on a remote island, they must put aside their differences to stay alive. Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, this tense and unpredictable adventure combines sharp wit, escalating danger and unexpected twists. Send Help is an entertaining survival story that will keep audiences guessing until the end.
Critic Helen O’Hara of Empire Magazine calls Send Help “Gnarly, gross and delightfully unconventional. This is exactly the kind of Sam Raimi film his fans have been waiting for, carried by a committed, no-holds-barred Rachel McAdams performance.” The film currently features in polls of best films of 2026 so far.
