Performance Hall
The Performance Hall is a fully equipped theatre seating 175, featuring a full range of lighting and audio-visual equipment and a 4m (Depth) by 9m (Width) Stage. The racked seating can be retracted to provide experiences in the round as well as removed to increase capacity to 200. You can also hire a technician to look after your requirements.

Our three light, airy learning rooms are perfect for arts and crafts activities, classes and workshops as well as more formal talks and meetings. Two of the rooms are fully equipped with sinks and hand washing facilities if required.
Each room can be fully equipped with projectors and screens, and can cater for 20. The three rooms can also be combined to provide space for larger events of up to 60 people.
Tower Room
A first floor venue ideal for corporate meetings, the Tower Room comfortably seats up to 15. Please note: not suitable for anyone with access requirements.

Feedback
"The room was very light and spacious and made a real difference to everyone's mood and wellbeing. There was tea and coffee provided by the library cafe. The library itself has art exhibitions and is creative and therefore very inspiring place to be. The fact it was a library meant if I was early I could go find a book to read so got me out the house, and not only got me doing art, but reading too"
"It is a centrally located community centre, easily accessible by public transport, with a myriad of of activities geared to different learning preferences and ages"
