An Ipswich architect has unveiled plans to create a wedding venue at the town hall.
Nicholas Jacob Architects' plans will update and refurbish the Pickwick Room and Reading Room, making them more appropriate for marriage ceremonies.
Once the refurb is complete, the Grade II listed building, built in 1868, will take over from St Peter House as the town's official register office.
Lead architect for Nicholas Jacob Architects, Hugh Bunbury said: “It is exciting to be designing a new interior to complement this very fine building, and to create something special for wedding couples.
“We are pleased to be assisting Ipswich Borough Council in realising this refit in a short timescale.
“Our proposals will greatly improve The Pickwick Room, making it a stunning place for couples to tie the knot, while remaining true to the historic purpose and heritage of the town hall.”
