Information for visitors

If you have a case at Cheltenham Magistrates Court you will receive notification to attend on a certain date either for the morning or the afternoon session.  However, you should bear in mind that even if you are at the court at the allocated time you may still have a very long wait.  This is because Cheltenham Magistrates Court tends to hear the more serious cases, in particular those involving prisoners, before it deals with road traffic matters.

When you arrive at Cheltenham Magistrates Court you will have to go through a security system similar to that found at an airport.  After you have done this you will need to report to the reception desk where they will take your name and you should inform them of the solicitor who is attending on your behalf.  Finally, you will need to take a seat in the waiting area where your appointed solicitor will locate you.
