Our Clubhouse (ASC Clubhouse)

Our Clubhouse is situated in the historic Old Customs House  on the Promenade. There are breath taking views over  the estuary to the Lake District Fells and railway viaduct from the building.

The building is used for social, community and music events. Our music programme includes acts with a national or international reputation as well as he finest talent from Cumbria, Lancashire and the North West. We aim to provide opportunities for new acts to perform. 

It is one of the oldest buildings in Arnside. It was originally the Customs’ Bonded Warehouse with the Customs Officer House on the other side of the road. The Sailing Club has owned the building since 1960. At one stage it was used as a warehouse by Crossfields' Grocery store on the seafront.

For visitors who are unable to walk up or down the steps, there is access to the rear of the building, which can be used to get into the bar/music venue. The access is uneven and would probably require assistance. There is a ramp at the rear door and the bar/music venue which is flat.   Wheelchair users will need assistance using the ramp.

The toilets in the clubhouse are on a level with the bar/music venue, but are standard door width, limiting wheelchair access. There is no disabled toilet facility within the club.  Please be aware that some clubhouse events are standing or have limited unreserved seating, though we can reserve a seating area for you..
