Fall in love at the seaside
We can offer you a choice of rooms for your ceremony, depending on numbers and what you want from the day.
The Council Chamber
You could have your special day in our Council Chamber replete with its fine wooden panelling created by a firm of local carpenters.
This is our largest available room, perfect for a wedding ceremony surrounding by all your family and friends. This magnificent and ornate late Victorian room can seat up to 60 people and would provide the perfect backdrop to your special day.
The Civic Foyer
Your ceremony could take place on the ornate mosaic floor of the Civic Foyer with its sweeping staircase perfect for sumptuous photos. It’s a lovely, large space, and can hold up to 60 people.
The Civic Parlour
Accommodates 42 people and is perhaps the most attractive of our smaller licensed rooms. This room was the drawing room of the old house. French doors open out onto the gardens with their magnificent views of the beach, castle and cliffs.
And more…
THE COMMITTEE ROOM
The Committee Room can hold 20 people and is a second room ideally suited to hold your interview and registry signing. Another impressive fireplace provides the focal point in this attractive room.
The Mayor’s Parlour
The Mayor’s Parlour is an ideal room in which to hold a smaller and more intimate ceremony. It’s an attractive wood panelled room full of history and interest which can seat 12 people and has adjoining doors leading into both the Committee Room and the Civic Parlour.
Imagine signing the marriage register in the Mayor’s chair that Sir Winston Churchill used when he visited the town as Prime Minister in 1952!
