Registration Of Births, Deaths, Marriages And Civil Partnerships

The Guildhall

One of Poole's most historic and well-known landmarks, the Guildhall, re-opened its doors to the public as the Borough of Poole's Register Office in 2007. The Grade 2 listed building, which dates back to the 18th Century, has been restored to its former glory by a major renovation project funded by the Borough, providing a new venue for weddings, civil partnerships and other civic ceremonies.
