Discover the hidden gem of Hackney at The Castle Cinema, an independent community cinema and bar nestled on the vibrant Chatsworth Road. Boasting three distinct spaces, our venue offers something for everyone.
Screen 1 features 82 cosy seats, perfect for immersive movie experiences. Screen 2 offers an intimate setting with 27 seats for smaller screenings or private events. And don't forget to visit our lively bar, where up to 125 guests can mingle and enjoy a wide selection of drinks.
Join us at The Castle Cinema for an unforgettable blend of film, community, and entertainment.
This beautiful auditorium has space for 82 bums on 82 comfy armchairs.
The building was originally built as a cinema back in 1913 and we are incredibly lucky to have retained many of its original features. The original proscenium arch takes pride of place with it's ornate plasterwork alongside the beautiful curved ceiling, both of which are highlighted in gold. All of the armchairs are moveable.
Tech: DCP, DVD, BluRay or HDMI 2k digital projection and 7:1 surround sound.
If you hire screen one, you can also enjoy shared use of the bar space. The bar is open from 10am til 11pm daily (earlier close on Sundays), so your guests would be welcome to hang around for pre/post-screening drinks!

Great local spot, reasonable prices and excellent screens - comfy seats and great sound system. I really enjoyed their popcorn too!
Tomos Jones
GREAT cinema, our favourite in London. Lovely building, friendly staff, nice drink selection and a decent loyalty scheme. They do a decent negroni too

What a beautiful cinema! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the place was clean and tidy from top to bottom and the screens them self very clear and seating very comfy. Good vegan options too. Look forward to coming back soon

I really like the vibe and aesthetic of this venue. It feels as though I stepped backwards in time (for the better). I visited to listen to a pitchblack playback of King Gizzard, and Mac Demarco. Unfortunately, unlike previous pitchblack events I have attended, this was uncomfortably loud - especially the mid/high notes of the steel guitars. I cant deny that this basically undermined the whole visit for me - otherwise 5*
