The Leeds Library Full Description
The Leeds Library is the oldest membership subscription library of its kind in the UK. Our gorgeous library was founded in 1768, making it the oldest cultural institution in Leeds (and older than the USA!). We moved into our current building in 1808, and our beautifully well-preserved building now rests on its laurels as a Grade II* listed rare example of a Georgian public library. We are licensed to host civil ceremonies in the New Room of the Library, which was added to our building in the Victorian era after the end of its life as a Leeds Intelligencer newspaper printers. This room can seat up to 80 guests, and features a beautiful glass roof and ornamental balcony. Our stunning Library offers space for unique and cherished photos of your special day. We will work closely with you to plan your day, offering a personal service for your wedding, discussing individual needs in order to make your day special and memorable.

Iconic building
All tiled interior. Lovely porch entrance with columns and stained glass. Iron mongery balcony. Maybe a little dark and heavy but that’s Victorian …beautiful tiles and a Potts clock!

One of the most magical venues in Leeds
The Leeds Library truly is the one of the most magical venues in the centre of Leeds. The venue gives off a ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘Beauty and the Beast’ effect and the Library itself is hidden away from the hustle & bustle of the streets below. All of our guests gasped at the beauty of the Library and many have made plans to visit again in a personal capacity. If you’re looking for a venue that’s unique, beautiful & magical – the Leeds Library is the place for you.
