Helpful staff, easy to find and a nice spacious venue
The internet cut out, a bit cold, could hear lots of car noises from outside, the room echoed and because it was so light inside the screen wasn’t as clear as it could be, even with the blinds.
Swift response.
Brrilliant
Communication from booking to event was spot on. We were welcome in the venue early to set up before delegates arrived.
Excellent communication. Extremely helpful
About The Old Library
The Old Library is a bright, open space perfect for hosting weddings, conferences, corporate dinners, parties, charity events and more. A range of menus and drinks packages are available upon request. We can currently hold up to 130 people seated and 250 standing.
Part of the Zellig Group, the Old Library has been in operation since 1990. The original library first opened as one of Birmingham’s 5 free libraries in 1866, it is now the only one still standing.
The public library’s doors closed to the public in 1940 and remained closed until 1990 when the dilapidated space was bought alongside the Bird’s Custard Factory and lovingly refurbished by Bennie Gray. The building was then leased to another company from 2004 until August 2017 when it has been returned to its original owner.
