Christmas at Bodmin Jail

As the festive season approaches, Bodmin Jail transforms into a unique celebration that intertwines the traditional joys of Christmas with Naughty or Nice Guided Tours and Krampus Grotto. Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, this historic site is a reminder of the past and a stage for captivating holiday events.

This year, visitors can immerse themselves in the enchanting yet eerie atmosphere of Christmas at Bodmin Jail, where the season's spirit meets the legend of Krampus. While St. Nicholas rewards the good, Krampus serves as a chilling reminder of the consequences of misbehaviour.

Discover that it wasn’t just stockings that were hung at Yuletide nor was goodwill shown to all people, but that even in the depth of a Victorian winter a little Christmas cheer could still be found with the Naughty or Nice Guided Tour.
