The ceremony room at Cockington Court
Torbay Council's Ceremony Room in Torquay is at Cockington Court, Cockington Lane, TQ2 6XA. Guests reach it from the Rose Garden at the rear, across a wooden bridge. The room holds a maximum of 52 guests. A photographer inside that number should be counted before the invitations go out. Fees include the room, the registrar's attendance and one marriage certificate, and the council says they can change. For 2026/27, Monday to Thursday is £400, and Sunday or a bank holiday is £600. The following year those become £415 and £625, and the year after £430 and £655. A non-refundable booking fee of £30 is listed for 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29.
The statutory register office for two witnesses is at the library in Paignton, not in this room. If you wanted that small Wednesday signing, it is a different address and a different fee. Cockington is the room with guests, a garden approach, and a bridge that is part of the arrival pictures. Say whether you still want the procession outside if the Rose Garden is wet, or a way through the building instead.
Garden time, and a meal somewhere else
Send the day, the start time, and the hours you have the garden. Monday to Thursday in 2026/27 is not the same booking as a Sunday or a bank holiday. One or two hours often covers a short signing at the Paignton library. This room, with up to 52 guests and garden pictures, needs the hours you actually want. If the meal is a second venue, ask for that travel in the quote. The date can be booked up to two years ahead, so the brief should follow the confirmation you hold, not an earlier year's fee.
How do we tell them to reach the Cockington Court room?
From the Rose Garden at the rear, across a wooden bridge. The address is Cockington Lane, TQ2 6XA. If rain makes the bridge a poor procession, say whether you want the pictures outside anyway or a cut through the building.
What should a 2026/27 weekday booking include for the photographer?
Monday to Thursday is £400, including the room, the registrar and one certificate. Sunday or a bank holiday is £600. The room holds 52 guests. Tell them the day and how long you have the garden. The £30 booking fee is the council's charge, not their price.
Does the photographer count in the 52 guests?
If they will be inside the room, count them in the maximum of 52 before the invitations go out. Say so in the brief. If they are only in the garden, say that too, so the guest list and the pictures are planned the same way.
Is the two-witness signing in this room?
No. The statutory register office for two witnesses is at Paignton Library. This ceremony room is the larger booking at Cockington Court. Name which one you have, because the pictures, the address and the fee are different.
