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.

L A Cinema screen the powerful documentary Ocean, made by Bristol production company Silverback Films and Open Planet Studios.
Ocean was released as a global cinema event in May of this year, coinciding with David Attenborough’s 99th birthday.
Ocean takes viewers on a breathtaking journey, showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the ocean. In the film, the celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean: Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.
Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonderful life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alone has ever seen.
Tickets a bargain price of only £3.00. We will be serving drinks: wines, beers, ciders, soft drinks and hot beverages.
