Bex - Heritage Guide
Favourite Tour - Twilight Tour
Never have I felt so much passion for a role. From leading tours for wonderful members of the public, educating excited school children about our dark past or training my team on new and interesting products, this is the best career I could ever ask for! It also helps being a nerdy goth kid, so getting to discuss dark history for a job is all I could ever ask for!

Favourite Tour - You're Pulling My Leg
No day is ever the same working as a Heritage Guide and I love it. Bodmin Jail is steeped in rich history and I really enjoy delving into the lives of our inmates and the circumstances that led to their crimes. It's a highly rewarding job and there is nothing better than making a visitors experience a memorable one!

Favourite Tour - Naughty or Nice
I enjoy the school trips, my highlight is when children are introduced to history for the first time and find it fascinating. The Jail allows for this with a very interesting subject matter. I have worked in many unique historical places which allows me to pull on many different threads of knowledge to enhance my visitors experience.

Favourite Tour - Broken Hearts
I first stepped through the gates of Bodmin Jail seven years ago, and was captivated by the building and the incredible stories of the prisoners who walked these corridors. It is truly the most incredible feeling to be bringing these stories to life as part of the incredible heritage team, I love getting people engaged and eager to learn more about the jails past.
