The Stationery Factory, located in the heart of beautiful Berkshire County of western Massachusetts, is a converted industrial building that most recently housed the former Crane & Co. stationery division. In addition to the multiple event and performance spaces, the building also contains many other local businesses and artisans, including a restaurant.
TICKET PRICING
Most events have now moved over to "all in" pricing which means what you see is what you pay.
Example: on a $25 concert ticket, you pay $25, we absorb the processing costs and collect around $22.50
FOOD & DRINK
The Stationery Factory concert spaces both have a full bar available when appropriate.
The Stationery Cafe (located in venue) serves fresh organic popcorn, giant soft pretzels, hot & iced espresso beverages, lattes, mochas, chai and other assorted teas as well as other light snacks.
The Shire Tavern (located downstairs in the building) is another great choice for folks looking for a more complete dining option.
*The Stationery Factory uses washable glasses, mugs, plates and cutlery when possible and items like biodegradable cups, straws etc. in an effort cut down on single use plastics.
PARKING
There is approximately 100 parking spaces around the building. Street parking is permitted but please stay away from intersections to allow emergency vehicles enough room to pass. The Dalton CRA (located across the street) has graciously offered some space in their lot for overflow parking as well.
