Gladstone's Library is unique. It is a residential library and meeting place dedicated to dialogue, debate and learning for open-minded individuals and groups who are looking to explore pressing questions and to pursue study and research in an age of distraction and easy solutions.
This institution pays tribute to William Gladstone. It is Britain's finest residential library, and its only Prime Ministerial library. It was founded by the great Victorian statesman himself and, following his death in 1898, became the national memorial to his life and work as well as one of the few Grade I-listed buildings in North Wales.
At Gladstone's Library, we have an evolving programme of events and festivals that keep us connected with a wide range of writers and thinkers. You can visit us on a free Glimpse of the Reading Rooms at 12pm, 2pm or 4pm any day of the week, pop in for a coffee, Sunday Lunch or Afternoon Tea, or you can book to stay with us in one of our 26 comfortable, boutique bedrooms.
