Registration service on the move in Banbury
Residents looking to get married in Banbury will be able to do so at a new ceremony room at the Town Hall, as Oxfordshire County Council’s registration service begins its move from Bodicote House.
The new ceremony room is larger than the county council’s other ceremony rooms across the county and will be able to hold up to 80 guests. The change will take effect from 1 December.
The service will also be moving day to day activities, including registering births and deaths, and giving notice of marriage or civil partnership, to Samuelson House in Banbury.
Councillor Neil Fawcett, Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “Our registration services touch the lives of people at milestone moments in their lives and is an important component of what we deliver at the county council.
“With the sale of Bodicote House, we have been looking for alternative locations for both our registration service, and ceremonies in Banbury.
“It’s great news that we’ve been able to secure Banbury Town Hall, which is an ideal central location for Banbury residents, and a lovely venue.”
Banbury Town Hall is a Victorian grade II listed building. It is one of seven council-run ceremony rooms, and one of almost 100 approved wedding venues across the county.
More information about the registration service is available on Oxfordshire County Council’s website.
