Hoxton Arches is a dry-hire event space in a railway arch in Shoreditch, East London, used for corporate events, brand activations, press launches, exhibitions, fashion shows, private parties and weddings. It offers 2,500 sq ft of floor space and takes up to 250 guests standing or 100 to 120 seated. The venue is two minutes from Hoxton Overground station.
Seminars and company events
For corporate events, the venue offers a blank canvas with high ceilings and exposed brick, suited to company parties, holiday gatherings, workshops and team events. As a dry-hire venue, it leaves décor and personalization to the client. The team works with trusted caterers, decorators, photographers and event planners, or you can bring your own. A private courtyard behind the arch is used for drinks, networking or breakout activities, and an optional back room can serve for catering, bar service or a VIP setup. Equipment includes mounted speakers and fast internet. For press launches, the site describes a casual setting for product launches, media events and brand showcases, with indoor and outdoor areas.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings appear among the events the venue hosts, and the site has a dedicated wedding page. Dry hire means the couple chooses catering, styling and entertainment, and a small courtyard with an outdoor bar is available for drinks. Contact the team by email to arrange a viewing and check dates.
