Warwickshire County Council’s Registration Service is inviting prospective couples to attend the next open day at St John’s House in Warwick on Sunday 6 April, 11am – 2pm.
Registrars will be on hand to answer questions and provide more information.
The venue is a Jacobean mansion and has two beautiful wood-panelled rooms, one with a capacity of 40 people and a smaller room, with a capacity of eight people, for legal ceremonies to take place throughout the year. This includes marriages, civil partnerships, the renewal of vows, and naming ceremonies.

The ceremony rooms at St John’s are situated on the ground floor and feature grand fireplaces, elegant chandeliers, striking panelling on the walls and large windows which let in plenty of light. The rooms have disabled access and are within a short walking distance of St Nicholas car park, which has direct access to gardens for photographs.
The House itself was built between 1667 and 1670, and the site is greatly steeped in history. From 1154 to the present day, it has been a Medieval hospital, a family house, a series of private schools, a military record office, and, after being bought by the County Council in 1959, opened in 1961 as the school Heritage Education Centre it’s become known as today.
