Prisoner Experience

Innocent or guilty?

Feel the weight of history as you surrender to the Prisoner Experience, where echoes of Bodmin Jail’s past surround you.

Step into the footsteps of history and check in as the condemned once did—but with a luxurious twist. Sip on a welcome drink as you prepare to embark on an expert-led tour, delving into the grim and fascinating tales of crime and punishment that linger within these walls.

Be warned: the watchful wardens will be keeping an eye on you, ensuring you stay in line throughout your journey.

Feast on an elevated three-course “Prisoner’s Meal”, crafted with historical inspiration, before stepping into the darkness for an introduction to the paranormal.

Wake to a decadent full breakfast and complete your journey with a visit to the immersive Bodmin Jail Museum.

Will you escape… or will the past keep its hold on you?
