Venue Description

The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal in the UK for civil cases and for criminal cases from England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It hears cases of the greatest public or constitutional importance affecting the whole population. The public are welcome to observe the hearings, (provided there is space in the public galleries) and to look around the building itself. We are open 9.30 to 1630 Monday to Friday.
