Colour Factory

Crazy P Colour Factory 15th August 2025 This was an absolute joy to catch up again with Jim & Chris. Love the short film clip of us together, I was 'persuading' the lovely lady in the red top to join us for a lol very grainy photo, this 'fan' had travelled all the way from Mexico for this gig! From day one I fell in love with Crazy P my first encounter was years back in Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, there was no stage, with dear Danielle wearing a plastic raincoat right in with the crowd, yes singing in the pissing rain! BTW: Colour Factory what an ace venue! with just one main room ('Less is more') with fab extensive raised platforms and terrific views from the first floor gallery. Terrific reasonably priced bar and the outdoor garden is something else. Lovely 'no attitude' Rainbow friendly crowd and it never felt 'rammed' on the dance floor. Also BIG HIGH FIVE to this venue that I was able to dance barefoot (24/7 since March 2022) throughout, not all venues are so accommodating! Friendly bar staff AND security who had a presence that was very much 'in the background' a perfect balance.

Went for Fist Club queer cabaret wrestling and it was SO MUCH FUN. Performers were amazing, bar staff were great, atmosphere was off the charts. Really fun venue.

Not the best sound system. Also the wait time to enter was extremely long. However the crowd was friendly and the staff as well. Especially the bar staff. The venue is nice and somehow unique.

usually i hate colour factory, i think the venue, drinks and ambience is incredibly disproportionate to the prices. however, last minute NYE plans meant we ended up there against gods wishes, but i was very pleasantly surprised by an incredibly lovely bartender. i can’t remember her name but she was white, had a slick back bun and a few facial piercings. she was incredibly nice and endearing, please promote her as she is the only thing keeping your business afloat

Tinzo and JoJo, 12th September 2025- Easily accessible from hackney wick station, 2 minutes walk from the platform to the doors ID/security checks and were prompt and efficient, no waiting around or crowding, staff kept people informed well. Main cloakroom is based on lockers with a QR code which were fairly expensive but probably big enough for 2 or 3 people to share at a pinch Venue is beautifully old school, bars are London prices but.... it's in London. Nice to have outdoor areas but I spent almost all my time on the dancefloor- sound quality was okay where I was but will note other people stood different places had some complaints there. Toilets are a bit rudimentary but easily accessible and I never had to queue, so in that respect, for club toilets they were great Staff were absolutely lovely to deal with all night- there when you needed them but never in the way, friendly and chatty Absolutely would return, breath of fresh air compared with some of the larger clubs/venues that are entirely up themselves

I'm cautious to rate so low as the staff and the venue itself is fine, but given it's a club, it's hard to not knock off more stars for the sound system. It's a 2 star system in a 4 star venue. Brash, very little sub bass and sub par levelling, it's just not what I go to a club for.

I’ve been to The Colour Factory for a few events – the Euro’s semi-final in the summer and, more recently, Hustle Wrestling. Both times, the setup was really well done with good seating, a great layout, a really great atmosphere, and a top-notch sound system. The screens are excellent as well, which makes it a great venue for events. The only downsides are the beer, which is both bad and expensive, so I’d recommend avoiding it if you can, and the toilets, which are pretty unpleasant. But considering it’s essentially a warehouse, you can’t expect too much. Overall, it’s a great spot for events events, and there’s always something interesting going on in a welcoming and inclusive space.

Located at the heart of what has become east London's good-time quarter, Colour Factory has a rough and ready feel. We were there for the third and final night of Fcuckers residency. The show was raucus, very loud and full of energy. But the sound system was not the greatest. Security and bar staff were friendly. It's super-easy to get to and from the venue - it is right next to Hackney Wick overground station. The only major letdown were the toilet facilities, which were appalling.
