Wedding Information
We've created this site as a convenient and interactive way to share all of the important details with you leading up to our wedding. We can't wait to celebrate this exciting new chapter of our lives together with you.
The Old Library
Zellig, Gibb Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B9 4AT
The Old Library is located in the heart of Digbeth, just 1/4 mile from Birmingham City Centre.
The venue is easily reached by public transport, foot, or car with plenty of hotel options nearby.
The building first opened as one of Birmingham's five free libraries in 1866, and it is now the only one still standing. The library's doors closed to the public in 1940 and remained closed until 1990.
It sits between Gibb Street and Heath Mill Lane and is adjacent to Birmingham's oldest pub, The Old Crown.
Accommodation
As the venue is situated in the city centre there are many options available to stay at including hotels and Airbnbs. We have listed some below.
