Useful information for visitors

If you have a court case at Cardiff Magistrates Court you will be summonsed, or bailed, to attend either in the morning or the afternoon.  However, you should note that you may have a very long wait, particularly, if the cells are full because prisoners normally take priority.

When you arrive at Cardiff Magistrates Court you will have to go through an “airport-like” security system.  Immediately, after passing though this you should make your way to the reception desk, where you should give your name.  You will then be asked to wait in the waiting area until your solicitor arrives, or if your solicitor has already arrived then the ushers will be able to point him or her out to you.
