Escape the dark prison cell in 60 minutes at Shepton Mallet Prison, then explore the historic prison. Private group.
“We had an amazing time and the escape room was just tricky enough to feel like we had really achieved something but not so hard it felt impossible. The theming was good, and whilst if you were severely claustrophobic it would be very challenging, it would not fall into the category of a horror one. If you're ok with the dark, you'll be fine. Our prison guard, Georgina was great (if a little scary to start). Would definitely recommend and other in my party said that this was the better of the two escape rooms, but I have not done the other one.”
