What you can expect

Prepare for a spine trembling, hair raising tour, mixing heritage, real stories and real encounters with one of the world's most haunted prisons. As the only group within the prison in the evening, your destined for a never to forget experience.

Starting at the Georgian gate lodge, your guide will transport you back to 1793 to the days of public executions, which took place on the very same gate lodge. Learn about the treatment of prisoners during this time, and of course, the ghostly encounters that have happened over the past 200 years.

Your tour will lead you to C Wing, the former female wing, and the most haunted part of the prison. Hear stories of the ‘Grey Lady’ who walks the landings at night, and the little Georgian boy who appears on the steps of the wing.

The tour continues below the Victorian prison down into the original Georgian prison, which still exists below ground. See the conditions Georgian prisoners would have been kept in (including the little boy), and experience total darkness as the lights go out.

Heading over to A Wing, the prison’s largest custodial wing, follow in the footsteps of ‘Shadow Man’ - Shrewsbury Prison’s most seen spirit. Often seen walking the landings of A Wing, hear his storey and the documented sightings of him.

Then it’s time for your In-Cell Experience. Enter a prison cell lit by the half-light, close the cell door and you’re in your new home for the next 5 minutes. Experience the sound of the prison at night, and for those brave enough the lights will be turned off leaving you in the dark.

Your penultimate stop is outside the Governor’s office, where you hear about the encounter one of the production team from Holby City had with the Governor’s wife who died 200 years ago.

Your tour finishes outside the original Governors house, where you will be released for the night.
