De Broodfabriek

De Broodfabriek (English: The Bread Factory) is an exhibition and convention center in the Dutch city of Rijswijk.

It was founded in 1996 by Henk van der Straaten[3] (co-founder of the former Konmar supermarket chain) as the Darling Market,[4] a recreation of the Paddy's Markets in Haymarket, near Sydney's Darling Harbour, which he encountered during a trip to Australia).

The smaller stage is the 'Friendly Folk Stage', sponsored by local record label, Friendly Folk Records, it serves as a podium for smaller acoustic acts.

The current name refers to the building's previous use as a bread factory of Meneba.
