An update from the Old Prison

We were delighted to receive a grant from Cotswolds National Landscape through their scheme “Access for All” for just over £4,500 to be spent on making accessibility improvements to the Community Garden at the Old Prison. Our work is now complete and we are very grateful to CNL for this generous grant. The garden is welcome to all, so why not pop down for a visit! If you’d like to find out more about volunteering at the garden, do get in touch!

Events and activities at the Old Prison

The events and activities at the Old Prison are an important part our work. Not only do they allow visitors to engage more with our heritage, they also offer the opportunity to see the Old Prison in a different light. It’s a wonderful venue and we’re delighted to be able to offer a range of events to suit every taste.

Details of events hosted by our entertainment partners – including cabarets, ghost hunts, half-term activities and more can be found here.

All proceeds from our events at the Old Prison are used to help us maintain this important heritage site.
