“If I could give 6 stars there would be no hesitation. I’ve spent the day here and loved every minute. I’ve come home with a spinning ring to die for…. Made even better because I was guided through each step by the knowledgable Violetta. Although challenging, totally worthwhile to produce something unique. Thank you so much, I will return for more!”

“Lovely little charity cafe that is a pleasure to spend time in - skip the Starbucks and come here instead! Their drinks are ridiculously cheap as they aren't out to make a profit but are just as good quality as any other cafe's. The food selection is more limited but they get lovely cakes in on Mondays - well worth writing in your calendar! However, the building is more than a cafe: it is definitely a warm and welcoming community space. The cafe has a corner filled with board games and puzzles, you are welcome to work/hold meetings there, and there are weekly craft sessions, soup kitchens and more. You know you'll be met with a friendly smile and that any money you do spend there will go directly to a good cause.”

“Great theatre. Fabulous staff and the production value of the shows we've seen has been spot on!”

“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.”

“Nice small venue, friendly staff. Enjoyed the performance I was watching, fast-paced show with impressively fast costume changes. Would definitely go again.”

“Beautiful place to walk ur dogs. Very peaceful and a lovely little cafe in the middle..”

“The cinema here is fantastic! We went as a pair and there were only two other people in the whole cinema, so it was very cool to have the place basically to ourselves. Although it would be great to see more people choosing to watch films here rather than at Cineworld, plus it's significantly cheaper at £6-10 per ticket. The volunteers / staff were also so friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend enough!”

“Fantastic venue, no parking issues. Volunteer staff exceptionally helpful. Looking forward to the next production.”
