Cambridgeshire Register Office will be relocated to another city location during July 2021. The planning application for the new venue in Roger Ascham, Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 2BD has now been approved.
Building and site modifications to the new location will soon be underway but we do not have a timescale for completion of these works at present.
At present we are not taking bookings for the new ceremony room before January 2022. We will contact all couples hoping to have their ceremony in the new building in 2021 when it has been inspected and licensed by The General Register Office.
We anticipate that this will not be before September 2021.
