We are delighted to bring back our free Saturday workshops which will now be bookable and limited to six participants. All workshops take inspiration from our special collections and heritage site.   

The Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday 22nd October at 2.30pm by Zoom Webinar

Libraries Week is an annual showcase of the best that libraries have to offer, celebrating the nation's much-loved libraries and their vital role in the UK's book culture. We have been celebrating this week with a series of readings by our members and volunteers. We hope you enjoy them.

As our digitisation project progresses, we are delighted to introduce our new range of Christmas cards, notecards and postcards, featuring images from the Institution’s prints and drawings collection. Sets of cards are £6.50 each and locally printed using sustainable materials. All funds will help us preserve our beautiful Grade 2* listed building and collection. Currently, we are unable to sell our merchandise online but you can purchase items by visiting or emailing the office: [email protected]
