A New Home For Your Next Event

You need an amazing and quirky venue for your next event, somewhere people will remember and talk about afterwards, remembering it for all the right reasons. Somewhere which feels warm and welcoming. What if we could provide all of this but go one step further by ensuring your event also helps the local community?
House of Books & Friends exists solely to bring people together, create connections and build communities, so running events is at the heart of what we do. If you have this shared value with us, bringing people together to learn, to motivate, to connect or to relax then choose us for your next event.
Our beautiful and totally unique bookshop and events space is in a grade II* listed building which used to be The Reform Club. We have ensured it is accessible (installing an accessible toilet and temporary ramp access), has great internet connections, facilities and away from tram noise. We also have an onsite cafe and offer a range of catering options, you’ll also be able to let your guests know you have contributed to combating loneliness by supporting what we do.
We have a three tier rate card for our events space which you can read about in our Events Hire Brochure now available to download.
