Open Days are free and drop-in
Discover, learn and have fun!
At our Open Days you are invited to explore The Supreme Court of the United Kindgom.
You can visit three beautiful courtrooms and explore the building's extensive artwork collection. Rarely seen parts of the building will be on show, including the magnificent triple-height Library, which is a hidden gem not usually open to the public. Browse the exhibition area, where you can learn more about the Supreme Court, the cases it hears, and the history of its building.
Throughout the day, Court staff will deliver a series of informal talks and tours. Topics will include the restoration and conservation of the building, an overview of how Supreme Court Justices are appointed, and women in law. You can watch a short film that introduces the role of the Supreme Court in the Lawyer's Suite, overlooking Parliament Square.
There will also be a range of things for younger visitors to do too, including arts and crafts activities, a dress-up box, and our popular 'Legal Eagle Trail'.
You are also invited to take a break and relax in our café, which serves hot and cold drinks in addition to a wide range of fresh sandwiches, salads and baked goods.
