About Red Arch

Here is the story of Red Arch in Cheetham Hill, Manchester so far. It has live music 1 night a week. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

Red Arch is a grassroots music venue in Cheetham Hill, Manchester.

Listing notes

Red ‌​‌​‍Arch is an event space set beneath Manchester's railway arches at 11 Red Bank in Cheetham Hill / the Green Quarter (M4). It keeps the original industrial character of the brick arches but adds warm lighting, a full bar serving cocktails and a built-in sound system suitable for music or presentations. For performers, Red Arch runs an Open Mic night on the last Thursday of each month, and the space is otherwise hired out for parties and events. A flexible, atmospheric arch venue rather than a dedicated gig room — good for open-mic acts and one-off promoted nights using the in-house PA.
