Help Save Santa: Storytelling Experience

Enhance your festive day out at Shepton Mallet Prison with our immersive storytelling experience: Help Save Santa.

We need your help to save Christmas! Santa was spotted speeding through the Somerset skies and now he’s been locked up at Shepton Mallet Prison!

One of Santa’s elves has travelled all the way from the North Pole to share the tale and to recruit young detectives to solve the mystery and free Santa just in time for Christmas. If they succeed, an early Christmas gift might be waiting for you!
