Welcome to The Old Library Arts Centre in Mansfield - the home of Inspire Youth Arts. The Old Library offers a state-of the-art recording studio, 100 seat studio theatre, exhibition area, café-bar and a number of teaching, workshop, meeting and rehearsal spaces.
Our professional recording studio has a capacity for between 12 to 40 guests when using the theatre as a live room. Based on the ground level, all of our studios are fully air conditioned and include amps, drums and microphones.
We have an Audient ASP8024-32 analogue console that is teamed with a Pro Tools HD system, giving the perfect blend between both the analogue and digital worlds. Monitoring is through the highly acclaimed HIQ system, along with a Yamaha NS10.
Our Engineers are highly experienced, relaxed and professional. They are always on hand to offer their support and are dedicated to helping you to realise your project's full potential.
The Old Library has a fully equipped theatre with a 100 seat capacity. Studio 3 has a capacity of 60.
Our libraries have recently migrated to a new system for managing stock and customer data, including a new online catalogue. Find out more and check for updates as we settle into this new way of working.
