Product Description
Spend some time behind bars for the world’s most interactive prison tour. For a fascinating insight into more than 400 years of history, you’ll follow an ex-prison guard (who once managed the very wings you’ll be walking) behind the scenes of one of three historic prisons. You’ll follow in the footsteps of those on the wrong side of the law. Starting your sentence, you’ll be processed through reception before heading out to the wings and into the general population. Visit never-before-seen areas of the prison, where you’ll learn about the inmates, daily life, visits and prison work as well as the grisly side of history complete with stomach-turning tales of execution. If you’re feeling brave, there’s even the chance for a ‘Closed Cell’ experience, which involves entering cells and having the door locked behind you, hopefully the closest you’ll ever get to being a prisoner for real! Minimum age 16 Tours involve approximately one mile of walking and includes approximately 200 stairs There is no wheelchair access on the tours Tours run Tuesday and Thursday at 14.00 and Saturday and Sunday at 11.00 and 14.00 throughout the year Exclusions may apply We recommend you book at least four weeks in advance to ensure that dates are available All bookings are subject to availability Please allow 2 hours for the full experience Locations: Shropshire – Shrewsbury or Somerset - Shepton Mallet Vouchers are valid for 9 months from the date of issue
