Temporary Nightingale courts and extra court capacity

A list of additional courtrooms set up to support the justice system.

Additional venues used to hold as many hearings as possible as we recover from the pandemic. Some of these venues are known as 'Nightingale courts'.

Additional venues are set up on a temporary basis where there is a local need for extra court capacity and the venue is available.

This page shows the sites currently in use by region and will be updated as new sites open and others close.
