Families looking for a different day out during the school holidays can visit Shrewsbury Prison this summer with children receiving free entry as part of the attraction's Summer Family Offer: Kids Go Free & Eat Free.

Available until 1 September 2026, the offer allows up to two children aged 5-15 to receive free Prison Entry with every paying adult. Children under five continue to receive free admission year-round. As an example, two paying adults visiting with three children aged 5-15 would save £36 on Prison Entry compared with purchasing standard admission tickets.

Eligible children can also receive a free children's snack box in the on-site café, subject to offer terms and conditions.

For families looking for something beyond the usual summer attractions, Shrewsbury Prison offers the chance to explore a real Victorian prison together. The largely indoor attraction provides a weather independent day out, with visitors free to discover the prison at their own pace before relaxing in the on-site café. Well-behaved dogs are also welcome. Guided Tours and Escape Rooms are available for those wishing to enhance their visit, subject to availability and additional charges.

The Summer Family Offer is available until 1 September 2026. Tickets can be booked online or purchased on arrival, subject to availability. Full terms and conditions are available at: shrewsburyprison.com
