About this event

Arrive at the Gatehouse and be met by your tour guide for the evening. The guide has an exceptional knowledge of the prison particularly the ghostly tales and the spooky experiences that regularly occur. Guided by torchlight you will delve into the ghostly world of spirits – experience the strange silence that fills the grounds and the damp walls carrying only the faintest echo of what’s left behind.

You will be taken into the depths of this historic building and experience the dark side of the prison. You’ll listen in horror as you’re told about the sinister side of jail life – torture, murder and hangings, the last execution was only 60 years ago. Everybody has their own tales to tell and own experiences to relate – what will you discover?

Every Wednesday.
