Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies in Nottinghamshire postponed due to lockdown

The new Government guidance states that weddings and civil partnership ceremonies will not be permitted to take place except in exceptional circumstances.

Coun Kay Cutts, council leader, said: “I can assure you that we will do everything we can to work with couples to help them reschedule in line with the latest guidance which we will keep under review.

The important thing now is that we all follow the new guidance in full to help us slow the spread of the virus.”

Funerals can be attended by a maximum of 30 people, and it is advised that only close friends and family attend.

Linked ceremonial events can also continue with up to 15 people in attendance, plus those working at the event.

Social distancing should be maintained between people who do not live together or share a support bubble.

Currently birth registrations which are already booked are being honoured and Mansfield will still be registering county births, as will Worksop.

Wedding or civil ceremony notices are still being taken but only three months prior to the ceremony.

Citizenship ceremonies have been cancelled until further advice is received.

Non-statutory services such as change of name deed, baby naming will not be available.
