About ARC Space

Nottingham's last lace factory, still making lace in the basement, now run by a resident team of architects. "By day, it's a relaxed coffee spot and friendly co-working space; by night an intimate bar with character, atmosphere and just the right amount of edge."

Laceworks is the ground-floor bar: a dance floor, a cosy sofa corner and a covered, heated beer garden.
