About the event
Join us on another Explore Cornwall Day Trip, this time to Bodmin Jail! Spanning from the 1700s to the 1900s, Bodmin Jail brings social history, crime, and punishment to life like nowhere else in Cornwall! We'll visit the restored jail and come face to face with the stories of the people once imprisoned there and the societies they lived in. From learning about changing views of justice to the real-life tails of Victorian and Georgian pirsoners, this is an experience you won't want to miss!
