Crown Court hearings can involve a trial, a sentence or an appeal. Several matters may be listed on the same day, so the time on your notice does not always mean you will enter a courtroom immediately. Let your solicitor or the court know promptly if a delay affects your arrival.
Bring your hearing notice, case reference and the documents you have been asked to provide. Keep important papers organised so you can find them during the hearing. Check the court’s security rules before packing food, drinks or other items, and put your phone on silent before entering a hearing room.
The court lists disabled access, hearing loop among its facilities. The descriptions below explain what is available. If you need an adjustment, contact the court beforehand so staff can discuss the arrangements for your visit.
Follow the signs to security, then find reception or an usher. Give your case reference if asked and check the courtroom or waiting area. If you do not understand a practical instruction, ask staff to explain it. Tell the usher if you need a break, assistance or cannot hear what is being said.
