The ARC is a community Arts and Recreation Centre set in a secluded corner of Old Harlow.

We offer a varied programme of activities and events for all ages which include concerts, exhibitions and workshops.

There is a busy daily schedule of recreational classes as well as a variety of clubs that meet monthly.

These include Family History for those who are eager to trace their roots.

The ARC is the home of local choral group, Harlow Chorus. The organisation hold their regular practice meetings at the ARC due to the fine acoustic in the Hall.

ARC is a  member of the Harlow Cultural Venues Forum. Other members include Parndon Mill, The Gibberd Garden, Gibberd Gallery and The Victoria Hall Theatre.
