In October 2020, we announced plans to build Arcola Outside, a brand-new outdoor performance space and bar in the heart of Dalston. The new space will be built on a site near the theatre’s main building on Ashwin Street, formerly home to the Arcola Tent between 2011 and 2014. Read more about our plans here  »
