Marriage and civil partnership ceremonies are available at Birkenhead Town Hall. They remain cancelled at other council buildings while we continue to look into how buildings can be made safe.

Notice of marriage and civil partnership appointments can be made at Birkenhead Town Hall by emailing your contact details to rbdm@wirral.gov.uk.

All guests at ceremonies are required by law to wear face a covering. Guests will need to provide their own face coverings. You do not need to wear a face covering if you have a legitimate reason not to.

This includes but is not limited to:

• young children under the age of 11
• not being able to put on, wear or remove a face covering because of a physical or mental illness or impairment, or disability
• if putting on, wearing or removing a face covering will cause you severe distress
• if you are providing assistance to someone who relies on lip reading to communicate
