Two adults are allowed per booking for two children or more. On bookings with one child, the first adult goes free whilst a second adult will pay £7.50. Numbers for the Old Gaol are strictly limited for insurance reasons, which is why we have to arrange things in this way. 

Parents/carers will be able to accompany children at all times.

This historic Old Gaol in the heart of town will be beautifully transformed for the festive season.
