Relocation of the Register Office

The Register Office will be relocating during April 2026. We will be moving to Gardner Hall (part of the old College for the Blind) in Venns Lane, Hereford. Customers will be advised nearer the time if their appointment or ceremony is at the new location. A photo of the new location is shown below.

For more information about the register office move, please contact the Register Office using the contact details below.

Ceremonies

Our statutory ceremonies take place at 9.30am each day Mondays to Thursdays only (except bank holidays). These are basic ceremonies with the couple, the registrars and two witnesses only. Please do not attend with any additional guests, as they will not be permitted access.

From April 2026, these ceremonies will take place at our new register office location at Gardner Hall, Venns Lane, Hereford.
