January 2025This events venue in the Digbeth district of Birmingham made a highly favourable impression. As its name suggests, the building was once a library though its arched windows lend a church-like vibe. The catering was first class and the venue's team were helpful in so many ways, going out of their way to ensure we were well looked after from stepping through the door to departing.
