Description
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.

- EEmma and James28/07/2020Thank you from The TrenholmesThank you from The TrenholmesWe 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 youWe can't thank you enough for the service we received on our Big Day and the lead-up.

- KKaren & Richard28/07/2020A Big Thank YouA Big Thank YouI 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. 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.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
An excellent Wedding Co-Ordinator. Like me! We take so much of the strain from you. And rightly so! You need to enjoy your Special Day.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
So, so many. We are always so inspired by our Couples and the fantastic ideas they bring. We love being a part of something new and the beauty of The Arches is that we are all about pushing boundaries and being at the front of a revolution! But personally, I loved the Couple that had their dog be the ring-bearer. He was the star of the show all day!
