Step inside The World’s Oldest Prison once the doors are closed and the lights are low. As silence settles and shadows deepen, stories of past lives, unexplained encounters and reported paranormal activity begin to surface. This is a story-led ghost experience where history supports the stories told. Atmosphere replaces theatrics, and anticipation builds quietly as you move through one of the World’s most intense and historic prison environments after dark.
Your Ghost Tour begins as you pass through the imposing gates of Shepton Mallet Prison, a place shaped by over four centuries of confinement, punishment and secrecy.
Guided by torchlight, your tour guides introduce the prison’s long and complex history, from early incarceration to execution and reform. As daylight fades, a prison where space is tight, and silence is enforced.
From here, you’ll be led deeper inside, as the prison settles fully into darkness and the atmosphere begins to change.

As you move deeper into the prison, silence stretches, small sounds carry and the walls begin to tell their own story.

Figures such as the White Lady are spoken of quietly, without embellishment, allowing each listener to interpret what they hear for themselves.
History supports the stories told. Dates, routines and past events give context, grounding the experience in reality while leaving space for imagination.
