01 · The experience
Life onthe inside
Dinner is the easy part. The Prison is a night out you play along with: lock yourselves in, meet the wardens, and leave with a mugshot.
Case file 02Theatre with dinner
Wardens and inmates
Your servers are wardens, the crew are inmates, and they stay in character all night. You never quite know who is about to march past your bars.

The mugshot corner
Stand against the height chart, hold your inmate number and take the photo everyone asks for. Made for Instagram and TikTok.

04 · House rules and BYOB
The rulebook
Read it before you're locked up. Not sure about something? Ask the warden when you book.
01
Bring your own bottle
BYOB is welcome for the evening. The wardens open, pour and chill it for you. Corkage may apply: ask when you book.
02
Book your cell
Private cells are limited and go fast on weekends. Walk-ins sit on the open floor when there is room.
03
Your time inside
A cell is yours for a set time so the next group can be locked up too. The warden will tell you your sentence when you arrive.
04
Families welcome
Bring the kids for lunch and early dinner. Late evenings are for the grown-ups.
05
Dress code
Smart casual. Orange jumpsuits are optional but appreciated.
06
Behave, inmate
Respect the wardens, the cells and the other inmates. Troublemakers get released early.
