Invisible Wind Factory Ltd.

What Invisible Wind Factory Ltd. does

Invisible Wind Factory Ltd. is a privately-held Liverpool-based venue operator and arts organisation that runs a multi-space events portfolio anchored by a converted dockside factory at 3 Regent Road in the Ten Streets/North Docks area. The group operates at least five distinct venues: the main Invisible Wind Factory (IWF) warehouse, Kazimier Garden in the city centre, Stockroom, basement club Kapsule, and IWF Rollerdrome (Liverpool's first dedicated roller skating venue, launched in 2020). Programming spans live music, club nights, theatre, comedy, family events, creative workshops, and private hire, including a dedicated alternative-weddings sub-brand called Wow Factor Weddings.

The company makes money through a diversified mix of revenue streams: ticket sales via the Fatsoma platform for live music and club nights, roller skating memberships and session fees, venue hire for weddings and corporate events (including Christmas parties) handled through VenueFlow booking widgets, and on-site bar sales during events. Pricing ranges from unit-priced skate hire at £2.50 to multi-year wedding contracts and recurring monthly memberships for Rollerdrome starting at £29.99. The most recent strategic move is the March 2026 launch of Tele Sync, a network of interactive digital portals co-developed with Studio Tonto, CoStar Network, and Music Futures, designed to connect grassroots venues across Liverpool to broader audiences. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no parent entity, and operates as a single-country independent limited company in England.
