Ruthin Gaol is open for half-term fun from Saturday 26th October until Saturday 2nd November. Open every day from 10:30 am until 4pm (last entry 3pm). A unique Victorian prison experience! Come and explore the cells of this Pentonville style prison and unlock the stories of the prisoners who were kept here. Learn about the "Welsh Houdini" and discover what happened to those who were transported across the seas to Australia. See how the prisoners lived their daily lives: what they ate, how they worked, and the punishments they suffered. Younger visitors can enjoy our "Gaol Trails"! - Can you escape from Ruthin Gaol? Choose a prisoner and search for the items, but don't get caught by the warder! Our Teddy Trail is also ideal for little ones. We are open every day (except Tuesday) from 10:30 until 17:00 (last entry at 16:00).
