About

National Justice Museum | Tickets £16 full price and £15 concessions
Aged 14 and over only. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult due to the adult themes of the tour.

The National Justice Museum has been voted one of the 'most haunted buildings' in the UK!

Join our newly revised Ghosts of the Gaol tour for 2026.

Many people have been imprisoned and executed over the centuries of our building's macabre history. Do these souls still reside in the cells and halls of this ancient gaol? Retrace the steps of those who were locked away here, uncover eerie tales from staff and visitors alike, and learn of the many paranormal experiences reported within this historic building.

Aged 14 and over only. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult due to the adult themes of the tour.

If you are interested in organising a private Ghost tour for groups of over 10 people, please contact our hospitality team via: 0115 952 0555 or email: hospitality@nationaljusticemuseum.org.uk
