Feature Factory 4 POP up Shop
Factory4 Workshop set up shop at Birds Yard
Factory4 Workshop has recently set up a ‘POP up Shop’ within a city centre location. The shop will stock the work produced by the users of the Factory4 Workshop.
Continuing the brilliant work that has already been happening at the workshop for pre-start and incubation businesses, the shop is a great way for the makers to test trade their products and realise the reality of how a retail space functions.
Factory4 POP up shop is situated on the attic floor of a brand new city centre shopping destination called Birds Yard, just around the corner from Kirkgate Market.
Birds Yard is an intimate collection of boutiques which sell everything from wedding fascinators to vintage clothes and accessories, and now the work produced by the makers from the Factory4 workshop.
Birds Yard is what Leeds has been yearning for for such a long time - many people have grumbled since the loss of the Corn Exchange and have wondered when ‘something’ else will happen.
Well ‘something’ has definitely started happening…..
Birds Yard represents independent businesses at their best; it’s a great building, great ethos, and stocks great talent.
Show your support for a great new start up business and the local designers from the Factory4 Workshop, an amazing place to indulge or pick up a truly unique gift.
The Factory4 POP up shop will initially run for one month ending mid September. If the project is a success, then the aim is to keep the initiative running for as long as possible to really give designers a genuine experience of how the retail industry works.
Join the Factory4 Workshop Facebook group to take a look at pictures of the progression of the shop and the list of designers contributing, and keep up to date with the goings on with twitter@factory4wrkshop.

Fantastic place to find that little dress you can’t find else where, so try Birds Yard first.
