Guided Prison Tour for Two

Spend some time behind bars for the worlds most interactive prison tour. For a fascinating insight into more than 400 years of history, youll follow an ex-prison guard (who once managed the very wings youll be walking) behind the scenes of at one of three historic prisons.

Youll 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 youll 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 youre feeling brave, theres even the chance for a Closed Cell experience, which involves entering cells and having the door locked behind you, hopefully the closest youll ever get to be a prisoner for real!
