Factory Lane
Factory Lane is at the centre of Metro Arts and is perfect for cocktail functions, launches, birthdays, anniversaries, parties and private events.

The perfect ‘blank canvas’ theatre.
The New Benner Theatre is an underground black box space defined by its remarkable versatility and contemporary character.
Purpose-built with adaptability at its core, the theatre offers a true blank canvas for events of all kinds. Outfitted with professional production equipment and comprehensive back-of-house facilities, it provides an elegant and polished environment for you and your guests.
The venue features multiple seating configurations to suit your needs. A raked, retractable seating bank offers excellent sightlines and a generous stage area for performances, talks, presentations, and more. When fully retracted, the theatre opens into a spacious, unobstructed floor, ideal for workshops, classes, functions, and celebrations.
