Two very different escape rooms done and a fascinating tour, a very enjoyable day! - Two very different escape rooms and a fascinating tour of a real prison with lots of history: Krays, firing squads, hangings and more. Still occasionally used as a set for TV and film dramas. Recommended for a visit (~2hrs self guided tour and 1hr for each escape room, one of which is in the dark) but wrap up warm. Prison life is not comfortable! If you do an escape room either side of lunch, they will let you out for good behaviour to sample the local tea shops.

The best escape room I've done - Great experience. I had done a few escape rooms previously and this one is by far the best. It adds a little extra fun to the task. I'll leave you with that for the surprise. My partner had never done one before and loved it too. Shout out to will who set us up in the room, acting the mean prison guard :D Thankyou! Afterwards we had a self guided tour of the Prison which is great. So well pit together and lots of history.

Highly recommend. - This was a fantastic immersive experience right from entering the prison! We had booked 2 different escape rooms; the hole and the cell. They were both great team building exercises for our team and we all enjoyed the day. The guards were great at making us feel as though we were actual prisoners! Highly recommend.

Great day - We did the escape room [ the hole] in the dark, what a brilliant experience. The staff made it super realistic, difficult but doable. Really interesting walk around the prison. We would recommend to anyone that's visiting Somerset to visit. Great day out for adults and children. The prison was quiet, no queues. Booked online same day as visit.
