The UK’s most chilling overnight experience is back. Night Behind Bars has officially returned, offering thrill-seekers a rare opportunity to spend 12 unforgettable hours inside one of the world’s most haunted prisons.

This immersive overnight experience at Shrewsbury Prison places guests behind bars from evening until morning, housed in authentic Victorian prison cells that remain largely unchanged since their days of incarceration. From the heavy cell doors to the eerie silence of the corridors after dark, Night Behind Bars delivers a truly authentic prison sleepover like no other.

Participants will be welcomed by a prison officer and taken on a guided tour of the jail, uncovering its dark history, notorious inmates, and unsettling stories. Once the tour concludes, inmates are free to explore the prison at their own pace for the remainder of the night.

For some, that means ghost hunting through abandoned wings and echoing cell blocks. For others, it’s a chance to take part in games, group activities, or simply soak up the atmosphere of a building steeped in mystery and paranormal.

Renowned for its spine-tingling reputation, Shrewsbury Prison has long been associated with unexplained activity, making Night Behind Bars a must-do for paranormal enthusiasts, history lovers, and those seeking an experience far from the ordinary.

Bookings are now open for 2026, with limited dates available and demand expected to be high.

For those brave enough to sleep behind bars, Night Behind Bars promises a night of history, intrigue, and unforgettable chills. Book here: shrewsburyprison.com
