Oxford Castle and Prison

Oxford Castle and Prison is one of the best attractions found in Oxford city centre. Fun for all the family, the tours are a wealth of historical knowledge. Learn about past occupants and the characters involved and dwelt in these historic thick walls. Experience how the convicted felt and how they lives through these times.

From Private Guided Tours to our Escape Room: Jailbreak, they have a great range of experiences that go beyond the daily guided tours. Please note, that all experiences listed are subject to availability.

Book the family into one of their tours or try the Evening Tours. During a private evening tour, you can feel the full historic atmosphere of the 1,000-year building all to yourself. Accompanied by a costumed guide, you will be able to enjoy an extended tour.

Your tour guide will lead you to the top of St. George’s Tower to view the dreaming spires, then head to the underground candle-lit crypt and visit the historic prison cells. The private evening tours are a perfect after work social, or a great experience for groups of friends looking for something different to do in the evenings.

Why not enjoy the history in style with a prosecco upgrade!

At just a short 10 minute walk away from Oxford Train Station, you and your family will be able to enjoy Oxford’s best attraction.
