Derby Magistrates' Court, officially known as Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court, is located at The Court House, 18 St Mary's Gate, Derby DE1 3JR. Situated in the heart of Derby city centre, this court serves as the principal magistrates' venue for the entire Southern Derbyshire region. The building itself is a beautifully converted courthouse equipped with modern facilities, including video conferencing, prison-to-court video links, and four ground-floor interview rooms. Whether you are a defendant, witness, solicitor, or member of the public, our daily listings above provide the most current hearing schedule, courtroom allocations, and case reference numbers for every session.
As with all magistrates' courts in England and Wales, every criminal case in the Southern Derbyshire area begins here before a district judge or panel of lay magistrates — there is no jury at this level. The court handles a wide range of summary offences including common assault, criminal damage, public order offences, drink driving, and shoplifting. Either-way offences such as theft, burglary, and ABH are also heard here, with magistrates deciding whether the case remains at this court or is committed to Derby Crown Court for trial. Derby Magistrates' Court is particularly busy with motoring offences — speeding cases from the M1, A38, A50, A52, A6, and A61 corridors make up a significant portion of the weekly list. Single Justice Procedure cases, typically involving minor road traffic matters and TV licence offences, are processed here as well.
Derby Magistrates' Court is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The Courts and Tribunals Service Centre handles general enquiries on 0330 808 4407 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm; Saturday, 8:00 am – 2:00 pm). For pre-court magistrates' enquiries where your reference number is just numbers, email db-dbymcprecourt@justice.gov.uk. Post-court enquiries should be directed to db-dbymcpostcourt@justice.gov.uk. If your reference number contains both letters and numbers, contact the Crime Customer Service Centre at Contactcrime@justice.gov.uk. The Single Justice Service Centre can be reached at SJS@justice.gov.uk for Single Justice Procedure cases.
The courthouse on St Mary's Gate has no onsite parking. The nearest pay car parks are Parksafe (DE1 3NT), Chapel Street (DE1 3GU), and the Assembly Rooms car park (DE1 3AF). Disabled parking spaces are available on Bold Lane, around the corner from the court — turn left from St Mary's Gate. Derby Railway Station is approximately one mile south-west of the court, roughly a 20-minute walk or a short taxi ride through the city centre. Several Arriva and Trent Barton bus routes stop within five minutes' walk of the building. The court has step-free access via a ramp at the main entrance, a lift between the ground and first floors, and level access into all courtrooms and hearing rooms.
Derby Magistrates' Court serves defendants and cases originating from across the Southern Derbyshire jurisdiction. Beyond Derby itself, the court covers cases from Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Swadlincote, Heanor, Alfreton, Belper, Ripley, and Ashbourne. Residents summoned from neighbouring areas such as Chesterfield may attend their own local magistrates' court instead, depending on where the offence occurred and which court has jurisdiction. Bail applications, sentencing hearings, case management sessions, and trials are all conducted here on a daily basis, with the hearing list typically published each morning by HMCTS.
