The Place

About

The Place is a transformative new hub in Great Yarmouth, bringing together a library, adult learning services, and a university centre under one roof. Located in the historic Palmers building, this project aims to create a central space for education, community engagement, and personal development.

At The Place, visitors can access:

  • Great Yarmouth Library, relocated from Tolhouse Street to a more central location.

  • Adult learning courses, offering skills development and qualifications.

  • Higher education opportunities, with degree-level courses provided by East Coast College in partnership with the University of Suffolk.

  • Registration services, including birth and marriage registrations.

  • Norfolk Citizens Advice and other community support services.

The Place is designed to upskill local residents, making education more accessible while preserving the rich history of the Palmers building, which has been a fixture in Great Yarmouth since 1837.
