Welcome
A blank canvas with a lot of history.
The Arches sits at the heart of Dean Clough, once the largest carpet factory in the world. Since 2014 we have thrown distinctive, personal weddings beneath its arches, and no two have ever looked the same.
Bring your own suppliers, your own ideas and your own running order. We are relaxed, a little bit industrial, and endlessly flexible. The only rule is that the day should feel like the two of you.

The building
Once the world's largest carpet factory
We kept the character and cleared the space, so the building does half the styling for you. It is the kind of backdrop you cannot build, only inherit.
- i
Vaulted red-brick ceilings
The original barrel-vaulted brickwork, arching the length of the room.
- ii
The Northern Lights roof
Saw-tooth factory glazing that fills the space with soft northern daylight.
- iii
Original Yorkshire stone floors
Worn smooth by generations, and a beautiful thing to walk down as an aisle.
