Stay overnight in a real prison at Shrewsbury Prison

Locked up

Your adventure starts at 8pm, where you’ll be met by prison staff and led through the huge prison gates, straight to your cell for the night. This traditional Victorian cell will provide you with a a truly authentic experience behind bars.

As part of this unique experience, a Prison Officer will take you and your fellow inmates on a tour of the jail. You’ll visit, amongst other areas of the prison, two Victorian wings, a number of themed cells, the segregation unit (including the strip cell), and finish in the execution room.

After the tour, you’re free to explore the site or, if you prefer, retire to your cell for the next few hours. Some will choose to go ghost hunting and others to play games – the choice is yours. BUT don’t even think of escaping! You won’t have time to burrow out Shawshank Redemption style.

Dinner Behind Bars

The original prison kitchen, now serving as a restaurant, provides hot meals and snacks. There is also a licensed bar on-site, all open ‘till 10pm.

For the night owls amongst you, the prison staff are on-site all-night checking for good behaviour and are available to answer any questions you may have.

You’ll be woken early in the morning (there’s no tardiness in prison) to the smell of fresh coffee and a hearty breakfast. At 7am, the giant security gates will open, releasing you back into the world with memories of a very unusual night. We are confident, you’ll have many tales to tell!
