Who We Are
At The Chiswick Cinema we are firm believers in a high-calibre escapist and social experience for our customers. With two gorgeous bars, a sun terrace and plenty of expert intros or Q&As; we’ve fast become the core of our community. With guests travelling to our screenings from all over the UK, New York and even as far as Malaysia – we’re not only a vibrant local hub, but also a highly rated destination venue.
Our Story
Opening in June 2021, the cinema is the first venture into exhibition for Trafalgar Entertainment (FT1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2024). With home-grown programming and Q&A retrospectives, the five-screen site has won acclaim as ‘the new national film theatre’ and ‘[as being like having] the BFI on your doorstep.’
Strong local ties with other businesses and CICs saw the creation of its own film festivals, retrospectives and a diverse range of clubs and groups showings. A growing private hire business, ever increasing local ties and partnerships, and some major brand sponsorships and collaborations ensure that no two days are ever the same.
