The Art in the Attic gallery is a beautiful space which frequently holds magnificent visionary exhibitions by local and national artists.

In the basement, the creativity continues with a space used by ceramicist Dawn Hoban and Beccie Ford who run regular workshops. It is also home to a Men’s and Women’s Shed. It also houses hot desk art spaces for local artists and other tenants.

“The Factory has given me a base to work and develop as an artist and has been an amazing support to me through the ups and downs of life.” Dawn Hoban.

The Factory is the home of SPARC, our youth performance team. Read more about Sparc here.

At its heart, the Factory is a community venue. It holds our visual art groups for older people once a week. Food Bag Friday is an important part of the Factory’s schedule, offering a bag of food to anyone who needs it on a Friday morning. Most recently, during the winter months, The Factory has been a ‘Safe Warm Space’ for the community, offering individuals respite from the cold weather in a time of a cost-of-living crisis.
