The Arches re-opened its doors on Monday 1st March, following a two-month period of closure whilst improvement works were carried out above at Central Station. The distinctive space has been revamped with several arches being re-floored, a new bar designed by Timorous Beasties, and a new Spring/Summer menu in the Cafe bar and Restaurant.
We also have packed season of events: 2manydjs Grand Re-Opening, the Subcity 15th Birthday party, Death Disco with the Bloody Beetroots LIVE and Carl Cox; the National Review of Live Art and Into The New 10; a Micro-Festival by Forest Fringe, and, as ever, much much more.
The Box Office has resumed its normal opening hours:
Mon - Sat: 9am - 8pm
Sun: 12 noon - 6pm

"In the middle of town, The Arches, underneath Central Station, has established itself as the cool venue for the weirdest bands, the wildest comedy, the craziest theatre and performance art." Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph, June 2009
