Historic Venue

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.

The 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. The smaller of the two areas is home to the bar, and is where your delegates can relax and grab refreshments throughout the day.
