Large and fully accessible community venue in Castle Quarter

Registered charity New-U Enterprises Ltd (https://new-ultd.co.uk/) oversees the Honesty Library on Level 2 of Castle Quarter at the top of the spiral staircase.

The Honesty Library is open between 10am-4pm Tuesday to Saturday in line with our swap-shop opening hours. It is a place where you can donate, swap and take out books or simply relax and unwind in one of our comfy chairs.

The Honesty Library is a renowned community space to sit and have your lunch, read a book, meet a friend or find out about other Norwich services. The space is unstaffed but we host regular events and activities from there such as our Jumble Sales and Upcycling Workshop which we run monthly (https://new-ultd.co.uk/events/).

The space is also available for third party organisations who need a city centre location to host events or meetings. We offer two booking options:

1) Groups, individuals and organisations can book an area of the Honesty Library for free ensuring that the rest of the space is fully accessible to the general public and the Honesty Library is left as you found it. You can hire the space between the hours of 10am-4pm on Tues-Sat.

2) Groups, individuals and organisations can book the Honesty Library exclusively for a charitable donation of £10 per hour, £30 per half day or £60 for a full day between the hours of 10am-4pm on Tues-Sat. This includes access to a hot water urn, teas, coffees, sugar, milk, mugs and spoons on request.

If you would like to book the Honesty Library for an event or activity please contact hello@new-ultd.co.uk.

NB. We have recently received financial support to upgrade our lighting in the Honesty Library which has been part funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund through Norwich City Council's Community Building Improvements Grant.
