The Dale Library
Space overview
The Dale Library is a versatile and rustic, library-style space available to hire in the heart of Chippendale.
The West and South facing windows and balcony give you the most spectacular afternoon light, which starts creeping in after lunch, and stretches all the way into the space as you watch the sunset over the neighbouring roof tops. If you’re looking for a unique space to run a workshop, or host an intimate dinner, we’re a perfect space for that too! Lighting equipment available to hire, just let us know what you think you'll need. The space is wheelchair accessible, with a ground-level entrance and elevator. all doors and hallways fit a moderate/average-sized wheelchair. However, please note, while the bathroom is accessible via a short ramp, there are no handrails or mobility aids available.
We're located right above Something For Jess cafe (catering available) in the creative hub of Chippendale. Walking distance to major public transport and super close to GREAT food
