After the relocation the Register Office at the Town Hall in Blackburn will hold marriage and civil partnership ceremonies only, these ceremonies will take place in a recently commissioned room which is specifically designed for smaller intimate ceremonies accommodating just the happy couple and two witnesses.

There is still a dedicated ceremony suite situated in the Northgate Suite, Northgate, Blackburn, for all types of civil ceremonies. This recently licensed suite for up to 100 guests offers a choice of different sized rooms for all party requirements.
