Sessions House is a Victorian building originally built to house 2 courtrooms. The Sessions House was opened in 1877 having taken 20 years to complete. Built as the Quarter Sessions Court for the whole of Monmouthshire. It is, in true Victorian style, perfectly symmetrical even to the use of a false door to ensure that symmetry. The Sessions House now owned by Usk Town Council offers use of the Mather Library and Victorian Courtroom for hire by businesses, organisations and the Arts.

During your visit you may take in the sights of an original Victorian courtroom and hear tales of criminals and judges, not forgetting Casper the friendly ghost! Join our tour to see the Mather Jackson library and venture down into the old tunnel that leads from the dock. Have your photo taken in the Judges Seat and find the Victorian pissoir. Tours last around 30 minutes. No tickets necessary, just turn up and enjoy.
