Dare to Enter the Gaol After Dark?
Are you brave enough to walk the halls of a real Victorian gaol after nightfall?
Travel back to 1844 and step into an authentic courtroom to witness the chilling conclusion of the murder trial of the century. But justice is just the beginning…
From the courtroom, you’ll descend into the cold, stone depths of the gaol, where desperate prisoners, dark deeds, and unspeakable secrets await. Don’t expect help from the Gaoler… they’re almost as unhinged as the inmates.
And whatever you do, stay alert. Something is down there. Something that doesn’t want you to leave...
What’s waiting inside:
- Immersive historical setting
- Live actors and jump scares
- Twisted tales and disturbing encounters
- Dark corridors filled with tension, terror… and maybe worse
Important Warning:
This is an intense, immersive horror experience. It is not recommended for pregnant visitors or those of a nervous disposition. You have been warned…
Not suitable to under 18s.
