Peterhead Prison Museum Visit - 6th April

This event is open to everyone!  Make sure to buy your tickets and we will send information about our meeting point to travel through to Peterhead.  Your ticket will cover your admission to the museum.  Tickets are £5 per person which is a huge discount - what better way to start Spring Break.  We have booked into the onsite cafe and we will go there after our tour.  

 

"The former Victorian HM Convict Prison Peterhead is unique in that it sits within a 6 acre site, had the first state owned railway in the UK and part of the history saw the only time the SAS (Special Air Service) were used to end a domestic siege in mainland Britain.

The museum highlights the work of the brave personnel that served here between 1888- 2013, you will visually see what “real” prison life was like, whilst listening to the officers speak of their experiences as part of the audio tour that accompanies your tour and your sense of smell will be stimulated as you enter the laundry, shower block and hospital areas’. A family fun, day out in Peterhead!"
