The States of Deliberation meet at the Royal Court House, a historic building that has been the seat of Guernsey’s Parliament for over two hundred years.
This iconic venue combines centuries of tradition with modern accessibility.
Finding Us
Visitors can enter the Royal Court House through the contemporary entrance on St James' Street, which leads directly to the historic Chamber where the States convene. The Chamber itself reflects the Island’s rich parliamentary heritage and offers a unique setting for the important decisions that shape Guernsey’s future.
