The Gladstone Library

The Gladstone Library is a truly magnificent room that remembers its literary past where 30,000 books were shelved. The room still retains the gantry used for access to the higher levels, now used as a minstrel’s gallery. Can you imagine a more stunning space to hold a wedding reception? It’s a truly exceptional background and the perfect banqueting venue, with impeccable table settings, fine china and traditional silver service.
