Escape room challenge - The experience was well organised. When entering the cell it looked deceptively simple, after investigating there were lots of engaging puzzles to solve in order to escape The Cell, it was not easy, but we did it. The self guided tour was eye opening, with lots of interesting facts regarding the running of the prison when it was in use and its inmates. Great coffee in the restaurant too!

Absolutely adored our visit - Incredible day out, for a family of four (2 adults,a baby and seven year old)) the staff were absolutely amazing, friendly, super helpful and full of knowledge and keen to share. Such a unique and beyond interesting place. I was absolutely fascinated from the very first moment! Amazing coffees and good suze food portions too!

Absolutely brilliang and a fantastic staff team. - Me and my friend also did the overnight event then the escape cell and the guided tour. Every single member of staff from the lady when entering the car park, the ladies at the over night, guard at the escape cell, guard for the tour and all the staff in between, canteen staff, gift shop staff and anyone else have all been so happy, polite and helpfull from start to finish which made the experience even more enjoyable. We are already planning our return, cant wait to see the staff again. Well done everyone.

Interesting but expensive - The self guided tour was great, lots of interesting areas to see with plenty of information available. Cell escape, whilst fun, was not worth the money at all. Not enough info given about where to start or what we were looking for. We initially wanted to do The Hole but the staff were helpful and said it was exceptionally dark and possibly not suitable for the youngest of our group. Be warned, the cafe and gift shop are extortionate. £5 for a bog standard pen is daylight robbery, whoever sets the prices should be stuck in one of the cells. Would I recommend a tour of the prison? Yes. Would I recommend the Cell Escape Room? No Would I recommend the gift shop? Not a chance. Cannot fault any of the staff, they were all very friendly and helpful.

First time in an escape room - Never been on an escape experience before, so a little confused as what to do as clues were a little evasive, but eventually worked out what to do with helpful hints from assistant. Once finished escape room had a leisurely stroll round the prison, very enjoyable. Worth a visit

Disappointing Escape Room - Advertised as a state of the art escape room, however person who designed it has clearly not been to other great escape rooms. We have successfully done 20 plus rooms all over the country and this was one of the worst. Very tight space for 2 adults and 2 kids with Xmas tree in the way. Very battered and dirty props. Limited puzzles with main one difficult to decipher what you were trying to do. Lack of emersive story. Pop to escape rooms in telford or shrewsbury to see how they should be done or this one may put you off doing them. Consider enhancing with better puzzles with books, posters, keys, personal care items, or link to the Sean bean filming that took place at the prison. Wouldnt take much to make it more enjoyable and emersive. It was good that a self guided tour was included in the escape room price but even with that and the escape room we were only at the prison for 2 hours. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Dogs allowed which is good if you want to take furry friend. Take coats and gloves in winter! Kids enjoyed finding the Elf cards Has a cafe on site
