The Hat Factory

The Hat Factory is an arts centre with multiple creative spaces spread across three floors, including a studio theatre, dance studios, and music rehearsal rooms alongside conference facilities. The building combines flexible working areas designed to support a range of artistic activities and public performances.

The building opened as an arts centre in 2004 with its initial creative spaces. A major renovation in 2019 upgraded the performance areas and workshop spaces to better serve contemporary arts programming.

The centre serves as a venue where local and visiting artists present their work to audiences throughout the year. People come here to experience theatre, music, dance, and visual art that shape the creative life of the community.

The centre is located near Luton train station and is easy to reach by public transport. Opening hours vary depending on the programme, so it helps to check current details before your visit.

The Factory Floor is a multipurpose event space that accommodates over 200 people and hosts music concerts and other live events. This flexible room design allows the venue to present different artistic forms on a single stage.
