The Arches Glasgow, UK

Description

The Arches Glasgow opened in 1991 and is located in the heart of the city centre, in the vast space beneath Central Station. Now, almost 20 years later, The Arches Glasgow is the epitome of underground chic, and stands as one of the premier event venues in Europe. Indeed, in 2007, The Arches Glasgow was voted by DJs themselves, as being one of the Top 50 Clubs in the world in a poll taken by DJ Magazine.

However, music is just one of the many things this venue has going for it. Featuring a variety of clubbing, comedy, theatre and live music events, The Arches schedule is constantly abuzz.

The Arches Glasgow is set apart from otherwise similar venues because of the method through which its programme is funded; the revenue created by the various events hosted at the venue is then reinvested in The Arches Glasgow's own arts programme. The programme was designed with the youth of the city and wider region in mind, and The Arches Glasgow prides itself on its ability to provide a platform for those new and emerging artists within that community.
