There were three of us visiting and we all really enjoyed our visit. We had two guides who were both excellent. It was great that they were both able to add to the prison’s history with plenty of fascinating stories. We took heed of the advice to visit and we’re glad we did. It was well worth the money to have the guided tour.

Graham, our guide and ex prison officer, was brilliant at re-telling stories of prison life, he was knowledgeable and entertaining.
The tour was for 2 hours and we spent the rest of the afternoon walking around at our leisure. There is also a restaurant on site, which served jacket potatoes, fries, burgers, sandwiches and hot and cold drinks at reasonable prices.
A Memorable Tour of Shrewsbury Prison

The whole Tour was extremely enjoyable
thanks largely to our Guide Matt - he told stories of the past & the conditions of the past before health & safety & duty of care. It must have been horrendous!

Great visit
Margaret_C, Apr. 2023
Having a guided tour is well recommended.
Hearing the full life of a prisoner from the time he gets out of the van to the the transfer or end.
How the sentences, daily routine, cells ratio to the number of prison Officers to prisoners have changed throughout the years. Some things are for the better,some are not so good.
Great visit.

Fascinating tour but too cold.
Antony_M, Dez. 2022
A very interesting tour with loads of fascinating facts about the history of Shrewsbury prison and prison life in general. A bit too much for younger children but great for adults. The only real problem was it was too cold.

Excellent. Guided tour very informative. Brilliant Guide - funny, very knowledgeable and great talker.
A fascinating insight into a place you would not like to locked up in
Tony_B, Okt. 2022
I would recommend you book the tour around the prison. Graham is an ex-prison officer who spent a large proportion of his career working in Shrewsbury Prison. His detailed insight on the workings of the prison made for a truly fascinating two hours. How he described the daily routine in such detail you could imagine yourself there. Ultimately it was not a nice place to be, and most people would struggle to cope with incarceration, but Graham portrayed a situation where he and his colleague’s made life in prison bearable treating prisoners with humanity and dignity whilst also maintaining the discipline necessary to maintain order. He didn’t pull any punches when describing the horror of capital punishment which was also administered at Shrewsbury.
All in all it was the best guided tour I have been on, well done Graham
Informative
Patricia_T, Okt. 2022
Most entertaining, Grahame was very informative. I found seeing the dummy In The room adjacent to the execution room very chilling.
Worth doing time inside for.
Dean_H, Okt. 2022
Informative guide painting a grim yet realistic picture of prison life that is alien to those of us who have only ever been outsiders. Fully recommend.
