How to Get Involved

The Star and Shadow Cinema runs on the love and work of a large and ever-growing collective of volunteers.

Please help with Warwick Street Refurbishment

The building we have purchased needs full refurbishment. As much as possible will be done by volunteer labour.  Whatever your skill-level you are welcome to come along and involved in the radical refurbishment of our new home.

Turn up on site on the days mentioned below and a site safety supervisor will give you an induction.

We've got protective clothing galore, refreshments by the gallon and a massive skip that needs filling.

If you'd rather support us in other ways we need a vegetarian communal meal cooked every Saturday. Or bake us a cake !!

  • Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm SKILLED & EXPERIENCED CONSTRUCTION VOLUNTEERS ONLY

We'd love to see you on these volunteer days - no need to bring anything but your energy and enthusiasm!

Put on your own event at the Star & Shadow

We run a unique system of open programming whereby grass roots community organisations, independent artists and any member of the public can come and promote their own social causes via film, music, discussions and working groups. We provide the space and facilities for this to happen. We will be open for events in June 2017. If you want to plan ahead contact details are below
