Overview

Located next to Walker Art Gallery, County Sessions House is a non-public venue which is frequently used for events and filming. Built between 1882 and 1884, County Sessions House was used for court cases involving non-capital offences. Although its role as a courthouse ended in the 1970s, its features still include basement cells and two intact courtrooms, as well as a converted lecture theatre. Both County Sessions House and Walker Art Gallery are incredibly popular with filmmakers and production companies, and have been used as the backdrop for numerous blockbuster films and television programmes.
