The Factory

WHERE COMMUNITY TAKES CENTRE STAGE
Looking out onto Grand Canal Dock, The Factory at Bolands Mills has been a landmark on Dublin’s cultural map for years. Legendary acts like the Bolshoi Ballet, U2, and David Bowie have spent time here recording and rehearsing. The Factory has also nurtured some of Ireland’s most accomplished actors and filmmakers, demonstrating a rich history of fostering local talent.
From early 2025, the newly renovated Factory is ready to inspire the next generation of creatives. This storied space will be available for local groups to book for a variety of creative, educational, and cultural activities.
