Bodmin Jail Attraction

Me and my partner went for our 2 year anniversary. We did the overnight ghost hunting experience, which is supposed to be £50 pp however, carers get their ticket completely free which was a lovely surprise! When we first got there we were immediately met with a warm welcome from two lovely guides. They both seemed extremely passionate about where they worked. They told us straight away what was going to happen as there was a lot of moving around to different rooms. They made sure we knew where the lifts were and made sure that we felt comfortable operating them ourselves. When we were booking the tickets I had a look at the accessibility, which stated that there would be a few areas that I wouldn't be able to access. However when we were there we able to get around every part which is always a huge relief. Me and my partner love watching ghost hunting videos and shows online, we are both very in tune with the spiritual world so we were so excited to find a venue that accommodates wheelchairs. We both did an Ouija board which was very nerve-wracking, although the guides ensured us we were completely safe the entire time. Later on in the night we used an EMF reader to ask yes or no questions to who we believe was a previous guard who worked in the woman's wing of the prison. The whole time we felt incredibly safe and knew that if we ever needed anything or had any questions they would happily help. If you like ghosts or even are just interested in prison history I would definitely recommend booking Bodmin Jail, You wont regret it!!

A visit to the newly refurbished historic jail. There are a number of other different events and tours on offer there too. Access has been well thought out. A free carer ticket is available with proof of disability. There is a show that describes the history of the jail, and you get to see the original cells, Governor’s office with historical artificers, hangman’s noose etc.
