Ninety seconds on Sessions House
Sessions House runs a guided tour every day at half past ten, except on Fridays while Parliament is sitting. On those Fridays, come instead and watch the debate from the public gallery.
A sitting Friday is the livelier visit, with the public gallery open from 10am. The chamber upstairs is laid out like the House of Commons, government and opposition benches facing each other, and the Speaker presides in a long black robe and wig, with a silver mace.
On other days the guided tour takes you through; request a date through the form on the Legislature's website. The ground floor is the Supreme Court.
Debates in both houses are broadcast on the radio, so you can follow a Friday sitting live from a cafe on Front Street.
