Cheltenham Magistrates' Court is based at Cheltenham Courthouse on St Georges Road, GL50 3PF, in the heart of Cheltenham's town centre. Operated by His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) as part of the Gloucestershire court region, this court serves the Cheltenham borough and surrounding areas across the county. The current courthouse building dates from the late 1960s and replaced a row of Victorian villas that previously stood on St Georges Road. It sits within Cheltenham's Regency-era streetscape, close to landmarks such as the Promenade, Imperial Gardens, and Montpellier.
The court primarily handles criminal matters including summary offences, either-way offences, and Single Justice Procedure (SJP) cases. Common case types heard at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court include driving offences such as speeding, drink driving, and driving without insurance, as well as assault, theft, public order offences, breach of bail conditions, and drug-related charges. More serious indictable offences that cannot be finalised here are committed or sent to Gloucester Crown Court for trial or sentencing.
