Formerly a wind turbine factory on Regent Road in the Ten Streets area of Liverpool, Invisible Wind Factory is truly multi-purpose in its programming and ethos.
As one of the region’s most innovative spaces, IWF continues to chart its own cosmic course with a vibrantly diverse range of events this summer, from live gigs curated by Amorphic Music, club nights and new festivals to markets, watch parties and plenty of roller skating.
In addition to the Invisible Wind Factory’s Main Hall, the iconic building is home to the IWF Rollerdrome, Substation, Factory Garden, Factory Kitchen, Workshop and Studios and is one of the UK’s leading events, creative and artistic spaces.
The venue’s programme of summer events has been released, packed with goodness all the way to the end of September. Autumn’s programme will be released soon.
