H Davies | 2024 “Wonderful venue and team! They really helped bring my event to life and keep me calm on the day. They really know their venue and how to get the best out of it. Staff on the night were all super helpful and I got nothing but positive feedback from my event attendees.”

B Tranter | 2024 “Amazing!!! The room is so beautiful and with the help of both Jess & Rebecca organising so much for us it really came together well. The food that was sourced for us was lovely and worked perfectly with our audience. I want to thank everyone involved as we would definitely use the space again.”

N McDonald | 2024 “Great venue for events with a central location.”

M Young | 2024 “Top class support and assistance right up to the date of the event. Staff went above and beyond to make the night successful.”

P Nelson | 2024 “Building is quite deceiving from the outside. When you walk inside it is pretty big and the layout is lovely.”

Z Henry | 2023 “On September 9th, 2023, Heaven's Delights hosted our first Cupcake Brunch with Live Entertainment at The Old Library. The venue's flexibility allowed us to transform it into a captivating space, perfectly tailored to our desired theme and decorations. A heartfelt appreciation goes to Laura, who proved to be an exceptional event manager, surpassing all expectations. I owe her all the cupcakes in the world! Without a doubt, we will be returning to the Old Library for future events, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience.”

C Brown | 2023 “A wonderful memories created as a result of professional staff who helped to facilitate them. Well done Laura and Rebecca...People are STILL talking about the occasion.”

P Stevenson | 2023 “Such an amazing venue and what a team behind the scenes!”

A Cleary | 2023 “Nice venue food was great, nothing too much trouble for staff.”

M Morgan-Hayward | 2022 “The venue is beautiful and has huge windows which allows for lots of light in. The street it is on is full of cool and quirky places with lots of wonderful artwork.”

Lizzy | 2021 “This venue is beautiful and more spacious than the pictures show. It has character, is elegant and has a lot of potential as it is like a blank slate for you to work on. The large windows allow a vast amount of natural light into the room so it is bright and gives it a resplendent state. The Old Library is looked after very well so you can expect to find it in a clean and without odour. Its a little hidden away, but this has its benefits as you do not get many unwanted guests trying to get in.”

S Wiltshire | 2021 “Fabulous, versatile space. Brilliant for those who want a space they can create and style accordingly.”

A Turner | 2021 “Had a great time in this venue staff very polite and great service.”

I Golding | 2020 “I used the venue recently for a styled wedding shoot. The staff were amazing! Friendly and helpful!! The place was spotless and we were able to get some great pictures due to the stunning light and electronically controlled blinds that helped the photographer use all the natural light available. A great piece of Victorian architecture that is well kept and wonderfully preserved. Would recommend for any occasion. Bright light even on a dark day!!”
