We did ‘The Cell’ escape room. Great fun, very hard but we escaped!!
Others were doing ‘The Hole’ which is in the dark, too scary for me!!
Walked around the prison afterwards which was interesting and intriguing!
Would recommend to visit.

Last time I was in Shrewsbury this prison was operational. Hard to imagine that when I visited this week. Great place to visit. Directions could be better. We got lost a few times. Our visit was spoilt slightly by some noisy school children who were not being kept under control by their teachers. Made us realise how noisy it would have been when it was full of prisoners!! Cake and coffee in the cafe to finish the visit

A really good tour which I’d recommend- the hour and a half passed very quickly. Our guide, Paul, was really knowledgeable, informative and friendly. Wrap up warm, though - the prison’s really cold!!

Firstly, a huge thank you to Paul, what a welcome, he delivered the tour with such enthusiasm and knowledge, making everyone in the group understand the history and importance of the prison service.
Starting way back at the beginning of Britain's penalty system right up to today.
He had one of those interesting voices you could listen to all day.
Well done Paul.

Took this tour on Mother's Day with my son. Graham has a wealth of facts and information from his time as a prison officer, with some funny stories thrown in. He made our tour a really fun and interesting experience. Thank you Graham.

Hi
I am looking to book and escape room. On the website it states that there are a specific amount to seats remaining... if
I am booking this for 2 people does this mean we have to share the room with others?
Kate
Good afternoon Kate,
We do apologise for the delay in the response to your question. Our Escape Rooms do have a maximum capacity of 5 per room, however, once you make a booking for that room, even if there are only 2 participants in the room, the room becomes unavailable to anyone looking on the website. This would mean that any amendments will need to be arranged by speaking with us either through email or over the phone.
We hope this helps!

Would we be able to bring a pushchair?

Probably not ideal if you want the full experience , narrow stairs to the upper levels of the prison, but still lots to see on the ground floor

Can we pay for parking when we arrive or do we have to reserve a space
Hi Lesley, thanks for the enquiry. We don't have any on-site parking available, however there is a small privately owned car park opposite the prison's entrance - feel free to use that one on arrival. You will need to pay for this car park when arriving on the day, around £5 for 24 hours.
Looking at booking the escape room and there are a choice of cells, are there any differences between them to help me decide?Thanks
Hi Tanya, thanks for your enquiry. We have two distinct types of escape room; The Cell is your typical escape room which is more mentally challenging having you solve riddles/puzzles and grabbing a key to escape. The Hole is more designed for intermediate players, and has the participants solving puzzles in the dark with handcuffs! The latter is more physically challenging but still a lot of fun!
Hi, we are going to book the escape room for early may, just wanting to know, do we have to book the tour as-well to have a little wander round or will we be able to have a look round after (being included in the admission for the event)
Thanks
Hi Tanya, thank you for your enquiry. When booking the escape room events, you will be given a Self-Guided Tour with this experience. As such you will not need to pay for this on top of the event itself.

Hi Simon, there is a small pay and display car park directly opposite the Prison. There is also a Station car park a few minutes away.
Hello, Can you please tell me how much the self guided tours are and when they are available. I noticed on site that it's 10am-5pm, but is that daily or scheduled?
