Experience the true stories of what life was like for the men, women and children – some as young as seven – who were tried and locked up here all those years ago.
Listen to dramatic true tales from the characters in the Jail’s past brought to life with our free interactive audio guides. Available in six languages.
ESCAPE ROOM EXPERIENCE – Booking recommended. Four sessions a day available.
‘The Debtors of 1850’ is no ordinary experience. Housed within the original walls of the debtors prison, this attraction invites groups of 2 to 6 participants to step into the shoes of 19th-century inmates desperately trying to gather the money to pay off their debt. Will their flair and fortitude, as well as a little help from other characters in the prison, see them make good what they owe and be released before the gate is locked for the night?
