A Venue Steeped in History
Dating back to the 1850s, The Boot Factory was originally part of the Coburg Penitentiary, where well-behaved prisoners crafted shoes and boots for the guards. Today, this family-owned café has been thoughtfully restored, preserving its original features while offering a cozy atmosphere that overlooks the guard towers and imposing prison walls. This unique setting provides a memorable backdrop for any occasion.
Flexible Function Spaces
We offer four distinct function areas, accommodating groups ranging from intimate gatherings of 12 to larger events of up to 140 guests. One of our standout spaces is The Loft, a cozy retreat situated atop a spiral staircase and adorned in retro style. Ideal for brunches, lunches, or casual standing functions, The Loft is also equipped with a projector and screen, making it a popular choice for corporate meetings and workshops.
