We escaped prison - New Year Day out - Great day out. Self tour was really nice to just go where and when we liked. The escape room was brill, being locked in an actual cell added to the experience! Staff were amazing. The guy on reception was really friendly and helpful (didn’t get his name). Georgina really added to the experience. The prison guard character she portrayed actually made us nervous 🤣 thank you both!!

A great experience - From the moment our Prison Officer Georgina met us my reaction was she is scary! (All part of the experience)! It was a fantastic experience and assistance was needed as and when we needed it. It was certainly not easy but you always have to think outside the box as they say!! But we made it with 2 mins 47 seconds left!

A Brilliant Experience in a Real Prison - We had a fantastic time at Shepton Prison. The Escape Room was really good fun, and being inside an actual prison cell made it even more immersive and unique. The prison tour was equally great—very interesting and informative, with lots of fascinating history brought to life. All of the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming, which really added to the experience. Overall, it was a really interesting, fun, and informative day out that we’d highly recommend.

A highly recommended attraction in the South West - We had a truly amazing time visiting Shepton Mallet Prison on Christmas eve this year. We took on the Cell escape room in the morning, which was fantastic and really cleaverly done. Then in the afternoon we went on the guided tour of the prison with our guide Jason. Jason was great and bought the whole thing to life with facts, stories and funny moments. A highly recommended attraction in the South West.

Amazing experience doing the Escape Room - We had a fantastic experience doing the Escape Room at Shepton Mallet Prison. The prison officer was a fantastic character and played his role amazingly! The puzzle was challenging but achievable, we got out with 5 mins to spare. We had a great time and would highly recommend it!

Corporate Morning at Shepton Mallet Prison - We went for a corporate morning doing a selection of tasks (put together by the Shepton team) which included the escape cell amongst other tasks, tours and experiences. Well what can I say - it was fantastic from start to finish - the enthusiasm of the team - our team was Jenny, Will and Roger - was superb and made the whole morning so enjoyable. The history is incredible and I will definitely be returning to see more. If you haven’t already been you should definitely go.

Amazing must see place in Somerset - Wow what a day at Shepton mallet... we had the best day here... so full of history I love how you got free rain of the whole place... got lost a few times it definitely takes you back to old part of the prison... and the history that goes with it... in one part you go through a hole in the wall to cells that are over 400 years old... and you can feel the spirits in there... had a very very heavy feeling in there and so did my younger daughter... definitely worth going... and Jacob front of house was so friendly and told you everything in depth what you needed to know before you go through to the prison it sell... will be returning for the ghost night next year...

Fun but mind-boggling - We did the cell Escape Room, helped by Georgina who was frightening and friendly in equal measure 😃. I hadn't done one before so was useless, but my friend said it was very hard. We had a fun time at a good price and would definitely return to do more and visit more of the prison.

Good day out - Good value for money coupled with a self tour of the jail. One item not working in the escape room which hampered progress, other wise would have been a five
