Burnley Crown Court Listings — Today’s Cases & Daily Hearings

The Burnley Crown Court listings page publishes the official daily cause list for Burnley Combined Court Centre, the East Lancashire courthouse that serves Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley. Located on Hammerton Street a short walk from the town centre, this purpose-built venue is both a Crown Court and a County Court, hearing jury trials, sentencing hearings, plea and trial preparation hearings (PTPH), bail applications, and Crown Court appeals against decisions of the local magistrates. Our schedule is drawn directly from HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) and refreshed throughout the day, so legal professionals, journalists, defendants, witnesses and members of the public can see who is in court at Burnley today and across the week.

About Burnley Combined Court Centre

Burnley Combined Court Centre opened in 1981 and was designed by the Property Services Agency in a functional Modernist style of red brick and dark glass. Before its construction, the most serious criminal trials in the area were heard in a single courtroom inside Burnley Town Hall — a venue that became unable to cope with rising case volumes across East Lancashire. The Hammerton Street building today handles a broad mix of work: serious crime as a Crown Court, civil money claims and possession actions as a County Court, and high-profile cases from the wider North West circuit when listed. The court regularly sits before circuit judges including the Resident Judge for Burnley, alongside visiting High Court judges for the most serious indictments.
