A unique corporate space
Perfect for 30 - 100 people for Training, Conferences, Seminars, Product Launches, Networking Evenings & Awards Dinners.
The Old Library Main Space
The Old Library is a beautifully restored Victorian building, starting life as the Deritend Library and opening in 1866. Full of period features, including vaulted ceilings and iconic arch windows, this space will conduct a positive and warm atmosphere. The main space is light and airy, flooded with natural daylight and is sure to impress your delegates. This impressive space has stood the test of time and remains the only one of Birmingham’s five original free libraries still standing.
A unique space in the heart of Digbeth - Birmingham’s Creative Quarter - a stones throw away from the city centre. Why not make your event one to remember and choose The Old Library - a historical, breathtaking venue with all the capabilities to meet your modern needs.
Our main space is split into two by four grand archways. The larger of the two areas can comfortably hold up to 100 delegates in cabaret style seating, with our blinds able to darken the room to your liking for presentations. The smaller of the two areas is home to our bar, and is where your delegates can relax and grab refreshments throughout the day. Your buffet lunch will be served in the adjourning Reading Room with your delegates able to bring their plates back to their tables.
There will be a dedicated member of our team on hand all day to assist with any queries, helping your event to run as smoothly as possible.
