GET INTO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AT SHEPTON MALLET PRISON
Get into the festive spirit this holiday season with a range of exciting Christmas activities at Shepton Mallet Prison – the perfect holiday outing for families.
A CREATIVE CHRISTMAS
Join us for A Creative Christmas – a FREE festive experience with fun activities for all to take part in. From writing letters to Santa to capturing the perfect ‘CELLfies’ to adding your festive wish to our Christmas tree, there is so much fun to be had. Plus, let your creativity shine as you decorate our felt Christmas tree and snowman! Additional craft items are available to purchase to make your prison experience extra special.
HELP SAVE SANTA
Enhance your magical day out 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!
MORE TO SEE AND DO
This holiday season, we’re adding a festive twist to our immersive escape rooms. Embrace the Christmas spirit as you work together to break free from a real prison cell. Or join us for a Guided Tour and learn about Christmas Behind Bars! During your festive day out, why not enjoy a warm treat at our café?  We’ll be serving speciality hot chocolate, mince pies and mulled wine, alongside our delicious cakes and the much-loved traditional cream tea.
