East Bergholt Cinema

28/05/2026

*East Bergholt PACE is screening Power Station (https://power.film/) on Friday 29th May at the East Bergholt Cinema (Constable Memorial Hall). Doors open at 7.30pm, film starts at 8pm.*

Power Station is a documentary about artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn, who set out to fit their entire East London street with solar panels. Inspired by the community spirit of the lockdown years, they brought their neighbours on board and slept on their roof for weeks to raise the money to make it happen.
The movement they started is still growing; they're still fundraising, have inspired dozens of other groups across the country, and have even created a toolkit for anyone wanting to start a similar community energy project in their own street!
After the screening, we'll be joined by Adam Birchweaver from Stour Power for an open conversation about community energy - what it could look like, what's possible, and what it means for communities like ours. We'd love to hear what excites or intrigues you, what questions you're sitting with, and what you'd most like to learn more about. Everyone is welcome, whatever your starting point.
Tickets are £6 (adults) and £3 (under 18s) at eb-cinema.sumupstore.com.
There will be a bar on the night offering alcoholic and non alcoholic refreshments, as well as tea, coffee.
Hope to see some of you there! 😊

Power Station - Film Screening & Talk Organised by East Bergholt PACE (Practical Actions for Climate and the Environment)

 

East Bergholt PACE is hosting a special screening of Power Station, a documentary about grassroots community action and what ordinary people can achieve when they pull together.

The film follows artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn, who set out to fit their entire street in Walthamstow with solar panels. Inspired by the community spirit of the lockdown years, they pitched the idea to their neighbours, slept on the roof of their home, raised the finance, and even launched a bid for a Christmas number one single. Funny, warm, and honest, it is a compelling argument that art and community spirit can change minds about what is possible. Running at 96 minutes.

The screening will be followed by a talk with Stour Power, a local community renewable energy group, and Howard Johns of POP Energy, a community energy entrepreneur, bringing the themes of the film closer to home.

Date: Friday 29th May Doors open: 7.30pm | Film starts: 8pm Venue: The Constable Memorial Hall, Gandish Road, East Bergholt, CO7 6TP Tickets: £7, available on the night or online at eb-cinema.sumupstore.com
