More information on Arches

The Arches is a truly unique venue, situated in Glasgow's city center. While offering a range of activities including live music, clubbing, visual art, multimedia and fashion, it also operates as a theatre. Set in breathtaking Victorian railway arches, complemented by a minimalist décor, you will scarcely find a more atmospheric theatre experience. The dress code is relaxed, the service is friendly and the program tends to be very challenging. It has strong links with student drama groups, so you may be lucky enough to see one of the big stars of the future. The in-house company stages about four productions a year. Have a drink in the stylish café-bar beforehand.
