After over 18s hours party with music, drinks and food at Barnstaple Library

Ditch the silent rule and party with music, a bar, food, games and a chance to let your creativity run riot with an after-hours party at Barnstaple Library on Friday, March 15. 

Barnstaple’s first Library Lates will take over three floors of the library with festival style fun between 7 and 10pm.

Jane Petch, senior supervisor at Barnstaple Library, said: “Libraries Unlimited has held incredibly successful Library Lates at Exeter, and more recently at Paignton, and we’re really excited it’s now Barnstaple’s turn.

“Our library building is perfect for a party. There’s plenty of room to roll out a huge variety of things for everyone to enjoy.

“Bring your friends and make a zine, or just make a noise! We’re promising a great, low-cost night out for everyone to learn something new and meet new people. There’s even a free wristband for a proper festival feel!”

Amongst the attractions will be the Beer Matters pop up bar, live music under the Reading Tree from local singer songwriter Laura Kate and folk duo Dogleg, plus delicious plant-based food from the Aleafia pop up cafe on the second floor.

Meanwhile, dance the night away on the third floor or chill out with tunes from Barnstaple legend Matt (Discovery Music), join board games with Dice & A Slice, try a virtual reality experience and much more – including Lego!
