Reviews

   Hat Factory Arts Centre is a brilliant place to explore creativity. The venue feels vibrant and welcoming, with a great mix of exhibitions, performances, and workshops. There’s always something interesting happening, whether you’re into art, theatre, or live music. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the space itself is well maintained and inspiring. A real gem for anyone looking to enjoy arts and culture in a relaxed, local setting.

   The shows we have seen have been good. We do support this venue. However the bar is in very short supply of drinks. No wine no draft beers. No coke a cola. So bit disappointing. Needs reviewing.

   Visited to go to the Tez Ilyas show who was absolutely brilliant. Venue The venue it self is small which is fine as even at the back you are not too far from the actual stage compared to bigger venues. The main issue was knowing the seat numbers as there was no numbers on them also not really any help. I just sat in where I thought was my seat from counting seat 4 from the end and asking other people in the audience. It is quite warm inside there with only 2 fans from what I remember which are located more nearer the stage. There is as a cafe within the venue, which I did not use, so i can not really comment on it too much, but it did look nice. Location Location is fine especially if it is the evening as local parking after 6pm on weekdays is free. Plus some food restaurants/takeaways near too.

   The Hat Factory is a brilliant venue that showcases all manner of different events for all ages and interests. I visited because they had an Acid Jazz Exhibition which brought back fond memories of my 20's. Ive since been back for an evening with former Luton manager David Pleat and physio John Sheridan, like I said they really do a great variety of events there for all tastes.

   Great local venue and superb room for comedy. They need to work on the whole queueing to collect tickets system which is surely much better served by tickets being issued upon purchase. Other than that, all good .

   Always clean and the staff are so helpful. I love the spaces and from what I have heard you can hire sections or the whole thing. The cafe downstairs is really cozy

   Went to see band here called Blue Rinse, who were excellent. The bar gets very busy. Payments are card only here. Overall, a good venue.

   My children and I attended the Hat Factory on Saturday to attend a book club session. Unfortunately, the book club people didn't turn up so no session went ahead. However, the gentleman who was manning the desk and cafe offered to read a story to those of us who had turned up. Once he had set the atmosphere in the cafe for story telling one of the parents read a story to his daughter and invited my children to listen. Then the cafe man brought over popcorn for us on the house. We ended up having a lovely time just hanging out in the cafe. I want to say a heart felt thank you to the Hat Factory employee who went above and beyond expectations and turned our disappointment into an enjoyable experience and saved us from a wasted trip.
