Visit Us

We run tours and events throughout the year for non members to visit and enjoy the library

Booking TOurs and EVENTS

We do run tours throughout the year, usually on selected Sundays, as well a  running a number of events open to all.  Tours are a full top to bottom guided tour with a knowledgeable tour guide, and the opportunity to view selected collection items that are not normally on display.  Tours usually last for at least one hour, with time to ask questions about the library, its occupants, books and secrets!

Research Visits

Those of you with an interest in specific areas of our collection are welcome to book a research visit. We invite prospective researchers to look at our online catalogue. We do require as much advance notice as possible in order to ensure we have the space and availability to accommodate your request.  Please contact the library here or call 01159 473134

As part of our charitable status, we do not charge for short research visits.  For short research visits; however this is by arrangement and we can only accommodate a maximum of three visits per individual research strand, at the Library’s discretion.  For longer use of the library we would advise taking out a membership.  Research visits are at the discretion of the library and there may be times when we are unable to accommodate your request, particularly at short notice.  Donations are appreciated to help us continue the work we do in looking after our special collections and archive.

“Thanks to the dedicated and knowledgeable librarians at Bromley House, we have been able to request access to the archives in advance, and look at the nineteenth century documents about George Green. We are now getting our peer reviewed paper about Green’s library membership ready for submission which is very exciting!”
