North Somerset Magistrates' Court: Daily Listings & Hearing Schedule

North Somerset Magistrates' Court, officially known as North Somerset Courthouse, is located at The Hedges, St Georges, Weston-super-Mare, BS22 7BB. Serving the North Somerset district — which covers towns and parishes including Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Nailsea, Portishead, and Yatton — the court handles a significant volume of criminal cases, single justice procedure matters, and summary offences each week. Whether you are a defendant, legal professional, witness, or member of the public, this page provides up-to-date access to the North Somerset Magistrates' Court listings published each working day.

Cases Heard at North Somerset Magistrates' Court

As a magistrates' court sitting within the Avon and Somerset justice area, North Somerset hears a wide range of cases including:

  • Summary offences: Minor criminal matters dealt with entirely at magistrates' level, such as minor motoring offences, low-level drug possession, and public order incidents
  • Either-way offences: Cases such as theft, assault, and criminal damage that may be sent to Crown Court depending on severity
  • Indictable-only preliminary hearings: Serious cases including robbery and serious assault that begin at magistrates' court before transfer to Bristol Crown Court
  • Single Justice Procedure (SJP) cases: TV licence evasion, speeding, and minor traffic offences decided by a single magistrate without a hearing
  • Bail applications and remand hearings: Custody decisions and conditions of bail for defendants awaiting trial
  • Domestic abuse, harassment, and restraining order proceedings

Youth cases involving defendants under 18 are typically heard at a separate youth court sitting and are not published in the public listings, in line with national safeguarding policy.

North Somerset Court Area & Jurisdiction

The court serves the entire North Somerset unitary authority, one of the areas created when Avon County Council was abolished in 1996. The district stretches from the Bristol Channel coast at Weston-super-Mare northward to the fringes of Bristol and includes the Mendip foothills to the south. Historically, the area fell under the old county of Avon — which is why some older court records and correspondence still reference Avon rather than North Somerset. Today, the court operates under the Avon and Somerset police and justice region, meaning cases investigated by Avon and Somerset Constabulary are regularly prosecuted here.
