Our trial re-enactments in our Victorian Courtroom are one of the highlights of our paid museum ticket. For Heritage Open Day, we're delighted to open one of our rarely seen spaces to the public – our beautiful Civil Courtroom – for a family-friendly mock trial.
Join us for the trial of William Cook, a prolific thief with a knack for escaping the gaol! Did he really run away, or was it just a misunderstanding?

This interactive trial lasts 30 minutes. Please note this is a free event as part of the Heritage Open Day. Tickets do not allow access to the paid experience of the National Justice Museum.
