De Grote Hal

The Grand Hall* is full of Utrecht history. You can feel it as soon as you enter the library. The atmospheric stained glass roof, the color-adjustable lighting in the dome, the towering statues on the walls... There is so much to discover. This central square in the library has everything to make big events, such as exhibitions, festivals, and receptions, unforgettable.*
The Dutch Film Festival and other major cultural events have preceded you in the public Grand Hall. The reading tables, seating areas, signage, and other furniture are movable. Prefer a private gathering? That is also possible after closing time.

Meneer Potter
Our catering location Meneer Potter is located on the ground floor, adjacent to the central hall. It is a city café where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, (early) dinner, drinks & cocktails.

*Please note: the Grand Hall is only available upon request and exclusively for use outside the regular opening hours of the library, daily from 09:00-21:00, Sunday until 18:00). We are happy to discuss the possibilities with you during the quotation request.
