Originally using it to house Glasgow's most ambitious theatre productions, it wasn't long before artistic director Andy Arnold realised the immense potential waiting within the vaults of the Victorian viaducts he secured the keys for from British Rail in 1991.

Today, 22 years later, The Arches still stands as one of Britain's best-loved clubs, and arguably Glasgow's number one.

Favoured by clued-up clubbers looking for a wild, sprawling tunnel experience, its five Funktion One stacked archways continue to host the city's beefiest promotions — Slam's Pressure, Colours, Death Disco — while its flexibility allows for smaller, intimate gigs, with James Blake, Sebastien Tellier and Crystal Fighters just a few making up the schedule for 2013.

Meanwhile, the chicly-designed cafe and restaurant offer classy spaces for pre-club drinks or mid-rave chill-outs, making The Arches one of Glasgow's most sought-out culture spots.
