The setting

A blank canvas full of history.

The Arches was established in 2014 when we saw the opportunity to hold distinctive and memorable events within the grand history of Dean Clough. And we have been hosting incredibly individual weddings and exclusive events ever since. No two events ever look the same. The only rule is that it should be all about you.

Incredible reviews

“The staff at The Arches were absolutely incredible. Nothing was too big an ask: they even helped us time-keep on the day and kept unwanted guests away. Every request was met with a yes: they raised tables so we could get wheelchairs underneath, they helped us set up, they did special dietary requirements, they even changed guests’ food preferences on the day. We weren’t the most organised couple, but they never pushed; they just waited for our responses and couldn’t be easier to work with. The food at The Arches was amazing, large portions, great food. And the venue was stunning. It was absolutely perfect for us. Thank you!”

Billie

“From start to finish, our experience with The Arches was amazing. We worked with Kat and Sam, and there wasn’t a question they couldn’t help us with or a request they couldn’t fulfil. Sam especially went the extra lengths to ensure the wedding was our own and all our guests were extremely happy. We had the most incredible day, and it was all thanks to them!”

Caroline

“Beautiful industrial venue, incredible food, lovely staff that are really accommodating with anything you need, well-priced package deals. I had the best day.”

Lauren

“Jamie, Kat, Sam and the team, you are amazing. Our big day was made so much more than we ever could have imagined. Thank you! From the first discussions with Jamie, to our food tasting with Sam, to the impeccable communication with Kat, and the overseeing of the day itself with Jamie, wow. The most beautiful venue and an exceptional team. We were blown away by the efficiency of everything; the lead-up and the day itself felt calm, relaxed and taken care of. Everyone deserves to feel like we did getting married at The Arches!”

Hilda

“We were on the lookout for the perfect venue that could really bring our vision to life for our special day, and the team at The Arches totally blew us away! They went above and beyond to make our celebration truly unforgettable. Service delivery? Absolutely top-notch! Professionalism? Couldn’t ask for better! Communication? So great every step of the way! We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience!”
