Locals come to see musicians before they become famous. Or underground films. Or the Miss Burlesque Australia competition. The Short 'n' Sweet Theatre Festival too. Or the Comedy Festival. Even a vegan festival, if that's their sort of thing. The Factory is Inner Western Sydney, through and through - easygoing, slightly askew and never ever beige.
A great space, catering for every taste. Almost. 1 Direction fans will find no joy here. Located down the road from its big sister, The Enmore, The Factory once felt miles away from the action. But Marrickville is really starting to shine. There's a galaxy of cultural delights beginning to emerge. And the Factory is one its biggest stars.
