National Justice Museum

The ever funniest museum i have ever been, thanks the performers, they are professional and knowledgeable, luckily, with other humorous "volunteers" , the shows are fantastic, we spent a happy 3 hours throughout the visit. meanwhile, thank you all the reformers to improve the environment of the prisoners and seek for a more fair trial for all.

This is a interesting and informative place to visit. it's a bit of a rabbit warren of rooms and corridors and, to be honest more signage would have been useful. also if you have any mobility issues it could be a problem seeing all the museum. this museum is definitely worth a visit and i would 100% visit here again.

Went on a school trip with my daughters class, really enjoyed it. the characters were excellent actor’s especially the georgian jailer, very strict! the kids loved the mock trail and the artefacts. recommend a visit

We visited this museum on a whim as it was across the road from our hotel and i'm so pleased we did. a fantastic museum looking into the history of how criminals were treated and punished in the very building itself. amazing staff, taking on roles such as barrister, prisoner or hangman, all being incredibly informative both in and out of character, bringing history alive. i'd definitely recommend timing your visit to be able to see the trial reenactment and public execution reenactment (no spoilers but it doesn't get gruesome, although you'll definitely know how the prisoners felt and will learn alot about how criminals were punished). considering we popped in on a whim, we spent over 3 hours here, left feeling informed, entertained and grateful for finding such a fantastic museum.

An absolute must if you like social history, what a fantastic insight into our local jails,prisons,courts,convicts and their crimes. the harsh reality of the times, re enacted by 3 very talented in character guides. a courtroom drama and a public hanging. lots to see, all set out in such a way to draw you into the terrible world that convicts faced 2 to 3 hundred years ago. allow at least 2 hours....there are lots of steps and small spaces, but for me that adds to the drama. there are lifts to all the different levels in the building, good accessible toilets and a cafe. book on line, you get a time slot....helps to keep an even spread of visitors. i also booked to see the caves...you get a discount, and there only 200 yards away.
