Loved the experience. The guide Graham was very knowledgeable but also made learning about the prison and history enjoyable for both adults and children. I felt the tour was the right amount of time, with education and also given own time to look around the areas of the prison. The staff, in general were polite , friendly and ready to help. Overall experience was brilliant. Thank you to everyone who worked there. Would be inclined to get a ghost tour next! :D

Recommend having a guided tour. Michael gave a real insight into prison life drawing on his own experience as a prison guard. It really is cold, wear 2 pairs of socks! The cafe serves good portions of food at a reasonable price. All staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again!

We really enjoyed this trip. Andy brought the prison to life with his great knowledge and stories from the past! Very, very interesting and Andy had a good sense of humour. Certainly recommend tour guide. Also value for money. Andy took care whilst imparting information, especially the horrors behind hanging and what’s involved. Thank you.
