Situated on the top level of the Library, this space is full of Victorian style and charm while also being home to the second largest Shakespeare collection in the world. The room is in an Elizabethan style with carvings, marquetry and metalwork representing birds, flowers, and foliage. It is a stunning library pleasantly juxtaposed with the modern design of the rest of The Library of Birmingham.
The Shakespeare Memorial Room was originally crafted for the city’s Victorian Library by John Henry Chamberlain in 1882. Following restoration works by local craftsmen it was rehomed on level 9 of the new Library of Birmingham in 2013. The library is now home to thousands of items of Shakespearean history, including photos, music scores, programmes and playbills.
Licenced for civil ceremonies, seating up to 40 guests for a ceremony and drinks reception, or 20 guests for a wedding breakfast. This room is small and intimate for those special moments.
Adjacent to The Terrace, guests can enjoy the stunning views of the city skyline as they approach the Shakespeare Memorial Room.
For banqueting and events, this space can accommodate up to 60 guests for a standing drinks reception or 20 diners for a sit down meal.
