Ceremony room

Our newly refurbished St Austell Ceremony Room in Polkyth House is currently set to meet with COVID-19 restrictions.

This ceremony room can accommodate up to 74 people seated (including wedding/ceremony couple). However due to current social distancing requirements this is restricted to the couple and 13 guests.

Biodegradable confetti can be thrown once outside of the building.

St Austell also has an 'outstation' at Newquay. The Newquay office does not have a ceremony room and only deals with the registration of births, deaths and notice of marriage.

For more information on booking a ceremony please see our Weddings in Cornwall page.

Disabled access

Two disabled parking spaces are available close to Polkyth House but they are pay and display. There is wheelchair access via a slope suitable for most wheelchairs. However, if there are any difficulties an alternative entrance can be used and staff will assist. A disabled toilet is available.

Parking

There is a large pay and display car park just outside the building. There are spaces signed for Register Office use, but all are pay and display. Alternatively there is Polkyth pay and display car park.
