The rooftop Terrace at the Library of Birmingham is a unique space in the heart of the city which offers some fantastic panoramic views over Centenary Square and the Birmingham city skyline. You can’t get these views anywhere else in Birmingham!

Just a few steps away from over 1 million works of literature and the historic Shakespeare Memorial Room, the Terrace features planting and landscaping with built-in seating and a private bar. This is a perfect location for golden hour drinks and parties late into the summer evenings.

If you’re looking for an outdoor space with the option to step indoors if the weather is not on your side, the Terrace is your perfect location for summer drinks parties, receptions, networking events and celebrations. Take in the views with your guests while enjoying drinks and nibbles with the added options of live music or a DJ, a barbecue menu or street food to wow your guests. Make it a pre-dinner event and book the Library Feature Space or Book Rotunda for the dinner, or to really give your guests a night to remember, book tickets to one of the shows in the Rep and enjoy pre-theatre drinks and canapés on the rooftop.

Whether your event is small and exclusive or large and lavish, the Terrace can accommodate up to 300 guests so the possibilities are endless! In addition to enjoying the outdoor space, you can arrange to view the Shakespeare Memorial Room or take in the current exhibition in the Gallery.

The Terrace offers you the most stunning backdrop and photo opportunities, for any event which you simply cannot have anywhere else in the city.
