Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - November/December 2024 (Issue 107)

THE GUILDHALL, LYME REGIS 01305 225 153 www.lymeregistowncouncil.gov.uk/BOOK-A-WEDDING The Guildhall was reopened after an almost complete rebuild to mark Queen Victoria’s Jubilee two years earlier. It brought together in one place some of the leading and wealthiest citizens of this small Dorset town. The architect behind this historic building is George Vialls. With stunning views across the sea towards Charmouth and West Bay, the Guildhall provides the perfect backdrop for wedding photography. The history of The Guildhall can be traced back to the Stuart period. The main chamber, with its curved ceiling and coat of arms, was once the local court, and the main body of the building, including the Mayor’s Parlour, was built on the site of the town’s lockup. The original door of the lockup is still visible along the side of the building, and there’s a sign that reads: ‘The door of the old lockup which stood here’. The ceremony room can comfortably host up to 75 guests, including the couple, registrars and wedding stewards, as long as the lift isn’t needed. If so, due to fire safety regulations, the maximum number of guests allowed is 65. Couples can personalise the chamber before the ceremony with prior arrangements or choose from various décor packages available. Dogs are welcome at The Guildhall! If couples plan to include their furry friends in the ceremony, they should inform the team when making their booking. The staff will then provide a waiver form to fill out.
