Very good, informative and interesting guided tour covering the history of the prison from inception to closure and visiting the most interesting parts of the prison - a very knowledgable guide took the group round. Once the tour has ended, you are free to wander at will and learn a bit more about individual prisoners of the past through information boards. I would thoroughly recommend a visit.
It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your visit and got so much out of the guided tour. Our guides love bringing the prison's history to life, so we're delighted to know you found the tour engaging from the prison's earliest days right through to its closure. It's also great that you stayed on afterwards to explore at your own pace and discover even more of the stories hidden around the prison. Thank you so much for your recommendation. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you back to Shepton Mallet Prison again soon.
We also did the guided walking tour, and it was absolutely worth paying for. You get so much more information than you would if you were just wandering around on your own. The guide really brought the history to life and shared stories and details we never would have discovered otherwise. We enjoyed it so much that we’re already planning to return in the summer with our four children (15, 13, 9, and 6). There’s a great offer running where one full-paying adult can get two children in for free (and under 5s are free), which makes it even better value for families.
We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the guided tour and found it well worth adding to your visit. Our guides love bringing the prison's history to life with stories and insights you simply wouldn't uncover on a self-guided visit, so it's fantastic to know it made such a difference to your experience. It's brilliant to hear that you're already planning a return trip with your family! We can't wait to welcome you all to Shepton Mallet Prison and hope you have just as much fun exploring together next time.

We had a guided tour with Jason who was entertaining, knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend. Great overview of the history, life for the prisoners in the far past and recent past.

A really interesting, enjoyable and atmospheric experience. Our guide Jason was excellent. He was entertaining, informative and helpful - without being asked he thought to grab a couple of folding chairs to carry around with him to save older members of the party having to stand for any length of time. It's a large site with a lot to take in so would definitely recommend having a guided tour. Thought provoking and good fun - having a cell door slam shut behind you definitely gives a flavour of what it would be like to be banged up!
