The Fabriek is the newest, as well as, the first Industrial Chic Event & Conference Center in Virginia. Located in the oldest Chartered Town of Virginia, with the additional distinction of being the second leading port during the Colonial times and a rich history going back as far as 1690. The Fabriek, is woman owned and operated. The name translated from Dutch means “The Factory” which reflects both the heritage of the owner’s husband as well as the look and feel of this unique event space which is ”Industrial Chic”, proven to impress your guests and set the stage for separating your event from the masses.

​

Located in what was originally a roller skating ring, when transforming it into an Event & Conference Center, the owner decided to accentuated the buildings industrial character thereby creating something that is not only unique and memorable, but also versatile. The Fabriek has that “wow” factor & Vibe you normally only find in Washington DC but without the travel time & high cost of hotels and/or parking fees.

 

With a total of 7,200 sf, 5,000 sf of which is on the main level and an additional 2,200 sf of VIP styled-space on the mezzanine, The Fabriek's unique character and layout will appeal to both women & men alike. The space is flexible enough that it can be easily adapted to whatever your specifics needs are whether that be traditional, rustic/barn, industrial or some fantasy all your own. This is a space where you can easily have a Reception, Wedding, Club & Music Events, Kids and/or Adult Birthday Parties, a Prom or Military Gala, Bar Mitzvahs or Quinceañeras, Fashion Shows, Holiday Parties, Business Conferences, or Product Launch Party, just to name a few.

​

Our inaugural event was Dumfries first “Mayor’s Ball” and as Dumfries' Mayor Derrick Woods so aptly said, "The Fabriek is a critical place which will help make Dumfries a place you travel to, not a place you travel through”.  No longer will you have to travel to places such as Springfield, Arlington, or Washington, DC. to have your next event because now you have a world class event and conference space right in your back yard.
