The Guildhall is a truly beautiful building which dates back to 1721. It was once the seat of justice throughout the city and even housed a prison, and today offers members of the public a glimpse of Worcester’s rich and varied heritage.

The Guildhall offers ceremony only, wedding breakfast only and package bookings to suit a variety of needs.

Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony or a large celebration for 180 guests, we have a range of rooms which are steeped in history and grandeur and provide the ideal backdrop for your special day.

Our events team will be there from start to finish making sure your wedding day runs smoothly. We are delighted that you have chosen to look around The Guildhall as your potential wedding venue.

There are 3 licensed rooms for ceremonies which are the Assembly Room (180 capacity), Council Chamber (45 capacity) and the Green Room (10 capacity).

The Assembly Room with its painted Italianate ceilings and chandeliers is a spectacular venue for banquets, ceremonies, weddings and other celebrations.

The Council Chamber has a small raised stage at the front which has always been used for Council business, stretching back to when the city was governed by the Corporation of Worcester. This room is popular for Civic Weddings and can be set-up to accommodate a range of needs.

Located on the ground floor the Green Room has played a range of roles over the centuries serving as a counsel room for lawyers, a place for guests to play cards or a waiting room for the Mayor’s guests. The room can now be used for small civil weddings.

The Guildhall does not offer catering and is happy for you to arrange your own caterer for your dream day.
