Gladstone's Library | the UK's finest residential library

Gladstone’s Library reopened on September 1st 2021 and since then, we hosted Gladfest2021, our flagship literary festival, and Alibis in the Archive, which featured prestigious speakers from the world of crime writing. A generous grant has allowed us to offer online and hybrid events in addition to our in-person talks and festivals. 

A program of upcoming events is available here. We warmly encourage you to engage with our masterclasses, evening talks and more.

New and returning Readers are invited to learn about the changes we have made to our world-famous Reading Rooms, which are those precious of things: silent study spaces and repositories of knowledge.

Food for Thought now offers table service and a revamped, modern menu. You can now drop in for tea and cake without booking, but we do ask you call us on 01244 532 350 if you want to book a large party in for lunch or dinner. The bistro is open until 8pm. Give us a call if you want more details.

Our residential bedrooms have also seen updates: all guests now have access to en-suite or private bathrooms. As always, our friendly staff are on hand to help make your stay a good one.

Book in, read, write, rest and relax.
