Step back in time for a day of history and discovery

Discover the powerful and often surprising history of Bodmin Jail, one of Cornwall’s most fascinating historic attractions and a former Victorian prison with over 240 years of real stories behind its walls. This immersive, self-guided experience allows Boundless members to explore at their own pace, making it a compelling and memorable day out for families, history lovers and curious minds of all ages.

Inside the jail, wander through original cells and atmospheric spaces that bring the past to life in an engaging and accessible way. Learn about the men, women and children who lived and worked here, and explore how crime, punishment and social change shaped Cornwall’s past, all presented in a way that works well for visitors of all ages.

Tickets from £5

Adults

£10.00 (Save £15.00 per ticket)

Children

£5.00 (Save £11.50 per ticket)

Standard on-the-door prices are £25.00 per adult and £16.50 per child.

That’s a 63% saving for adults and a 70% saving for children. For a family of five (two adults and three children), that’s a total saving of £64.50.

Tickets are limited, so book early to secure your place. Our non-profit status means Boundless can subsidise tickets and pass the savings directly to members.

When you purchase your ticket you will need to select a timed slot for arrival. This is to ensure your visit to the Prison is the most enjoyable possible. Your e-ticket will clearly state your admission time along with the ticket name.

Additional Tickets

Need a few more spaces for friends or extended family? No problem. If you’d like to purchase extra tickets beyond your five subsidised member tickets, we can offer them at a slightly discounted rate — just £18 per adult and £12 per child. These additional tickets do not receive the full Boundless subsidy but still represent excellent value compared to standard entry prices.
