About the event
More than 100 alternative traders – offering the best place to pick up a quirky Christmas gift – will take over the historic cells and corridors, creating an atmospheric and inclusive family-friendly spectacle on 23rd November.
Take a seat on an authentic prison stool at a visitors table in our specially created social space and enjoy an artisan coffee or pint of local ale or hot, spicy cider complemented by a hot treat such as spicy rotis, tasty pizza or juicy burger – be tempted by a slice of deliciously dark cake.
It’s sure to be an eerie, sensory experience as light trickles in through the cell windows, casting shadows all around as you sit in a prison cell experiencing a head massage or psychic reading.
We're excited once again to take over this incredible venue for alternative traders to come together and for the community to benefit.
