About this venue
The Bag Factory is a grassroots music studio and small event space in Salford, operated by the team behind Acid Rain. The venue hosts underground music and community events and offers private studio sessions. Its official booking page currently lists a three-hour private studio session for £50, but does not say that this is a general event-hire price or specify group size and inclusions. Resident Advisor and Skiddle both list an event capacity of 60; confirm the limit for a studio session or event configuration. The booking page lists CDJ-3000s, a full rig and a bar, and says studio sessions and event entry are for people aged 18 or over.
