What it’s like
An 18+ venue for DJ and aerial classes, jujutsu, spoken word and tabletop nights, not a kids' day out.
This one's not for the kids. Clock Factory is strictly 18+ with valid ID on the door, so if you were hoping for a family activity, this isn't it. Worth flagging clearly since the category might suggest otherwise.
What's actually on offer is aimed at adults: DJ Academy classes, aerial dance and circus training, combat jujutsu, spoken word nights and DnD or Warhammer tabletop sessions. Tickets swing wildly depending on when you book, from free e-tickets and a limited £4 first release right up to £8 on general release, so it pays to look early if the price matters to you.
The cloakroom will cost you £2.50 an item, and they're firm about it, no ticket, no belongings until the event ends. It's non-smoking throughout, with a designated outside area, and last entry is midnight, which tells you this is very much an evening and night crowd rather than an afternoon one.

Plan your visit
Can I bring my kids?
No, it's strictly 18+ with valid ID required at the door.
How much are tickets?
It varies a lot by release, from free e-tickets and a £4 first release up to £8 general admission. There's also a limited £5 batch, so check which one's live before you commit.
Is there a cloakroom?
£2.50 per item. You need the matching ticket to get your things back, and if you lose it you wait until the event ends.
Can I smoke inside?
The whole venue is non-smoking. There's a signed smoking area outside for events.
What time does it close?
Last entry is midnight, so this runs as an evening and late-night event rather than a daytime one.
What if I look young at the bar?
Anyone who looks under 25 will be asked for ID when buying alcohol. Under-18s attempting to buy alcohol risk being ejected without a refund.
