Gladstone's Library is unique.

Gladstone's Library is temporarily closed due to the situation with COVID-19. Our aim is to re-open in Spring 2021. We look forward to welcoming all our readers and other visitors back next year.

If you do have already have booking with us we will be in touch in the near future to discuss your options so please do bear with us.

Gladstone's Library is a residential library and meeting place which is dedicated to dialogue, debate and learning for open-minded individuals and groups, who are looking to explore pressing questions and to pursue study and research in an age of distraction and easy solutions.

As a completely independent institution and a registered charity, we receive no external funding. Our regular income is derived entirely from those who use our facilities, so whether staying overnight, enjoying a delicious lunch or attending an event or course, it all helps to pay our ever-increasing bills!
