Upcoming Arch Co open days
We host regular open days across the UK, giving you the chance to explore available spaces and ask questions in person. Places are limited, so we recommend booking ahead.
What happens at an Arch Co open day?
Our open days are designed to give you a clear, practical understanding of what it's like to run a business from one of our commercial spaces. No sales pressure — just the information you need to make a confident decision.
Explore the spaces
Walk through available arches and get a real feel for size, layout, ceiling height, access, and potential. Photos don't tell the full story — seeing the space in person does.
Meet our team
Speak directly with our leasing experts about your plans, timelines, and requirements. They know our portfolio well and can point you towards the right options.
Get practical advice
Ask about fit-out options, our flexible lease terms, what's included, and what getting started looks like. We'll give you straightforward answers — not vague commitments.
Understand the area
Get a feel for the local community, footfall, transport links, and neighbouring businesses. The space matters — but so does the commercial environment around it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question before you book? Here are the ones we're asked most often.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes — places are limited at each open day, and booking in advance means you can attend your preferred session and make the most of your time with our team.
Can I apply for a space on the day?
You can express interest during your visit. Our team will walk you through the application process and explain the next steps clearly before you leave.
What types of businesses are suitable?
We welcome a wide range, including retail, food and beverage, creative studios, light industrial, storage, leisure, and small office businesses. If you're unsure whether your business is a good fit, our team can help you work that out on the day.
Are the spaces ready to move into?
Some arches are ready to occupy straight away, while others may need fit-out work. We'll explain your options clearly on the day, including what's involved and what support is available.
What will it cost beyond the rent?
We'll cover the key costs — including service charges, deposits, and what to expect from the leasing process — when you speak with our team. We aim to give you a clear picture, not a list of surprises later.
Are lease terms flexible for small businesses?
We offer flexible terms designed with SMEs in mind. Our team can talk you through the options available at your preferred location when you attend the open day.
