The Old Library

This historic building, once the town’s main library, retains much of its original charm and character. Situated just a short walk from the bustling Cornhill and Buttermarket areas, visitors can find a mix of independent shops, cafes, and high-street retailers. The location benefits from excellent pedestrian access and is close to several car parks, including the Parkway multi-storey car park.

The Old Library is also within walking distance of Abbey Gardens and St Edmundsbury Cathedral, two of Bury St Edmunds’ most famous attractions. The building is a well-known landmark and is often used for community events, business functions, and creative projects.

Easily reachable via public transport, the Old Library is just a 10-minute walk from Bury St Edmunds train station, which provides connections to Cambridge, Ipswich, and London. Its prime location makes it a valuable part of the town’s heritage and an attractive venue for various activities.
