Victorian Séance -
This Halloween Bodmin Jail invites you to part the veil and take your place at our intimate, authentic Victorian séance. This unique evening will see our guests participate in Victorian spiritualism techniques including glass and table, ouija board and scrying before taking part in the first séance to be conducted in the original women’s wing of the prison for over 150 years. Begin the evening with an exclusive 3-course meal in The Chapel Restaurant before you are given unprecedented access to the prison and its spiritual energy. For the curious, the doubters, the believers and the aesthetes, this rare opportunity is not to be missed.
