About this space

The Main Room is the primary event space at Red Arch. It’s an open room that can be arranged in different ways depending on the type of event. The space works well for corporate socials, networking events, product launches, team celebrations, live music, and private parties.

The room includes a cocktail bar, a sound system, and a DJ booth, along with seating that can be moved around as needed. This makes it easy to set the space up for standing receptions, presentations, workshops, or more relaxed gatherings with drinks and music.

30th Birthday Party · 70 guests · September 2026

Booked this venue for my 30th birthday and had the best time! The staff were lovely and great with communication throughout the entire booking. They let us arrive early to decorate the venue how we wanted and added their own touches with some personalised signs which looked great! The space itself was amazing and didn’t need decorating, we just added some for the theme of the night. We were able to play music from a playlist all night. The drinks were really reasonably priced and they even let us put on a custom cocktail that went down a treat. I wouldn’t hesitate to book the venue again!

Nothing, it was brilliant from start to finish!

Party · 32 guests · October 2026

I loved the atmosphere Red Arch created at the venue, very cosy with red lighting and accessible to my guests, including at least one gender neutral toilet. Having an outdoor area for a quieter touch/somewhere to vape or smoke was very useful as well. Thank you so much!

There was nothing with the venue that I disliked.

30th Birthday Party · 60 guests

Red arch hosted my 30th birthday. Around 60 of us came and they had music, food stalls outside, and provided us with a table for us to play beer pong. Cocktails and beers were great, the owners are so friendly and responsive, and all of my guests were raving about how cool the venue was
