Description

The Arches is a truly unique industrial venue. Originally the largest carpet manufacturer in the world, Dean Clough Mills has been lovingly restored by the Hall Family into a unique complex of modern, inspiring Mills. Bursting with creativity, the Mills also house the largest private Art Collection in the whole of Europe, a Theatre and a Hotel. - The Arches was established in 2014 when we saw the opportunity to hold distinctive and memorable events within the Mills. We have been hosting incredibly individual Weddings and exclusive Events ever since. Our beautiful vaulted red brick ceilings, iconic Northern Lights and Yorkshire Stone floors provide the backdrop for some serious styling and artistic touches. - Quite unusually for a venue of our type, we offer a versatile capacity, meaning that despite our 300 person capability, we can also host a minimum of 60 Guests without compromising experience quality. Plus we, remarkably for a quirky venue, offer all-inclusive Wedding Packages as we have our own exceptional Executive Chef & Team, rather than a long list of Caterers, who can create exactly the right food and drink options to suit you and your Guests. Ask us about our Tasting Nights and Chef's Table Options which are included as part of your Package. - Our Weddings & Events Team can help you realise your vision and walk you through the planning process. They have unrivalled experience in high-end, luxury Event Management with some seriously special suppliers at their fingertips who, just like us, believe in creating exclusive and impressive moments to remember.

The Best wedding EVER

I cannot thank Jamie and the team at The Arches enough! Our day was just simply perfect from start to finish! We didn’t want traditional, no sit down meal, not your standard prosecco and Beer, drinks reception. Everything we threw at them everything that we wanted they simply made it happen in a heartbeat! The planning was unreal and it all went without a hitch! This really is the most stunning venue, backdrop for a wedding! As mentioned above we didn’t want a traditional wedding breakfast we wanted the best buffet ever ever, and oh boy did they deliver. This was the only part that had me wishing I wasn’t the bride because I would have for sure been back at least 4 times! It was the most epic graze table I have ever seen and all the guests agreed! The entertainment was equally amazing all taken care of by Jamie and the team. I have to give a shout out the the general manager Sam he almost went unnoticed but he was there always in the right place at the right time and he just made it that extra bit special! I’m planning on having a Joint birthday with a family member just to experience the buffet and venue all over again! Thank you Jamie and the team all our love Mr and Mrs Handley ♥️ Forever greatful, for the best day EVER!

A Hidden Gem

Naomi, Jamie & the rest of the team at The Arches were fantastic from start to finish. They made our evening wedding celebration so perfect and took away all the stress & worry, instead making it a fun experience. The venue itself looked absolutely stunning, especially when the sun set and all the fairy lights came on - all our guests said we had found a hidden gem, which we couldn't agree more with. The food was absolutely delicious and the team were really accommodating for various dietary requirements and last minute changes. We couldn't recommend The Arches more, especially for anyone who wants to have a wedding with lots of personal touches and a fantastic team of people helping to make it happen.

So impressed. Helpful, friendly and flexible.

Just want to say a huge thank you to the whole Arches team. Paul and I immediately loved the look of the venue and on our first meeting, we were so impressed with the 'yes, we can' attitude. Throughout the planning process, everyone was so helpful, friendly and flexible; allowing us to create a wedding unique to us. The Arches is beautiful and we got all the help we needed to create the wedding we wanted. Everything on the day went to plan and our guests were amazed by the place. We received so many compliments on our choice of venue. The food too was amazing. We couldn't have asked for more and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Arches.

Thank you from The Trenholmes

We can't thank you enough for the service we received on our Big Day and the lead-up. After a few changes at The Arches, you were really reassuring and made sure everything was covered. Our food tasting was amazing and all communication from you has been great. On the day itself everyone commented on how you would magically appear and sort anything that needed doing without any fuss. Just what we needed. The whole day went without a hitch (apart from our hilarious rather dramatic entrance), the service was great and the food was delicious, thanks to your super talented Chef. We had lots of compliments on the staff who did well to navigate several small children running around! Thank you

A Big Thank You

I just wanted to say a very big thank you for the work that was put into our wedding, behind the scenes and on the day. We had such a fantastic day. The comments from our friends and family often began with the words, 'Wow' and 'Fantastic'. The venue looked beautiful and the opportunity to come in the day before was great. The food was fabulous and again, everyone, and I mean everyone that we spoke with, said the same. So, thanks once again, you absolutely did us proud.
