Library Lates & Cultural Takeovers | Art, Music and Storytelling to Awaken the Library

Library Lates & Cultural Takeovers bring together an eclectic mix of local artists, musicians, storytellers, and performers to reawaken the library space.

These dynamic events invite the community to experience the library in a fresh and exciting way, with art, music, and performance that engage the senses and spark creativity.

Whether you’re into storytelling, live performances, or just exploring new cultural experiences, there’s something for everyone at these vibrant events.

Library Lates & Cultural Takeovers showcase the wealth of talent in the local area.

We invite you to immerse yourself in evenings filled with creativity, cultural expression, and inspiration.

With events held in Exeter, Barnstaple, and Paignton Libraries, these evenings are a celebration of the vibrant communities that surround these libraries.

Our inaugural Library Lates event, held at Exeter Library in February 2020, embraced the theme of ‘Retelling Old Tales’.

The evening was filled with magical performances that brought new life to classic stories.

Artaura Films beautifully captured the event, documenting the experience and performances that unfolded in the library.
