The Old library Venue & Media Centre is a multi-media centre located in the centre of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. It houses a state of the art recording studio along with a 100 seat Studio Theatre, Cafe/Bar and other working spaces.

2006 saw the Studios relocate from it's home of over twenty years, The Westfield Folkhouse, to a custom designed and built complex including Studio theatre, workshop spaces and Cafe.
Our Audient ASP8024-32 analogue console is teamed with a Pro Tools HD system to give the desired marriage between the analogue and digital worlds. Monitoring is through the highly acclaimed HIQ system, along with Yamaha NS10s.
Our Engineers are vastly experienced, relaxed and professional, and we are totally committed to the realization of your project's full potential; creating a bright and engaging place to work. The recording studios and theatre are at ground level and are fully air conditioned.
Should you have your own favourite live space to record in, the Old Library Studios mobile facility is an option.

PLUG Promotions

PLUG Promotions are a group of young people who meet regularly here at The Old Library to organise their own events and gigs, as well as help out at major County Youth Arts events such as Showcase. The young people currently involved are Mark, Sam, Emily, Alex, and Leah, and they have just finished organizing the 'Summer Rocks' gig. The first one, back in February 2009, was a love themed night to celebrate Valentines day and was a sell out. They came up with the idea for the gigs as they said there wasn't anything like this elsewhere specifically run by and for young people. This is a good opportunity to practice your creative and organisational skills and take responsibility for your own events. With the support of County Youth Arts PLUG will secure funding, design the posters, book the bands and will be staffing the event. PLUG are also currently working on a magazine and logo and will be orgainising various events in the future including promoting a Music Academy gig at Stealth in Nottingham, as well as a Halloween themed gig at The Old Library in October 2009.

PLUG are looking for new members to:

Be creative
Meet regularly and make new friends
Organise, promote and perform at events, gigs, projects and shows.
Work on the next PLUG flier and magazine
Consult with us and inform our future work with young people.
