About The Event
Can a whole street be powered by the sun?
Power Station follows the story of two artists as they set out to take their street off-grid and kickstart a solar-powered energy revolution.
The idea began in the depths of lockdown with the question ‘what could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power - of energy and imagination?’
Working to turn a street and local schools solar, Power Station is a scalable, in-your-face prototype of community led power. Channelling Withnail and I and Ealing comedies, the film charts the financial and emotional trials and tribulations of making change together.
From sleeping on rooftops to growing thousands of sunflowers and attempts at Christmas number one, community spirit and resilience are at the heart of this documentary.
Programme for the evening:
5:45pm - Doors open
6pm - Communal Feast
7pm - Social Cinema experience - We begin with a short mindful breathwork practice, before screening the film, and then opening up the room to an audience-led discussion.
The plant-based feast for this event will be sourced and prepared using local, sustainably-grown produce. We offer seasonal menus whenever possible, and confirmation of the menu will be sent via email to all ticket holders prior to the event.
Please contact us in advance if you have any dietary requirements or questions about the food.
We look forward to seeing you there!
