Shrewsbury Prison Ranks in Top 10% of Things To Do Worldwide!

Published on Wednesday August 13th, 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that Shrewsbury Prison has once again been awarded the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, marking 9 consecutive years of recognition!

This incredible achievement places Shrewsbury Prison among the top 10% of things to do globally and it’s all thanks to consistently glowing reviews from our visitors over the past 12 months. From unforgettable tours and immersive experiences to eye-opening insights into prison life, it’s clear why Shrewsbury Prison continues to be a must-return destination.

This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate 10 years since the prison first opened as a tourist attraction. This latest award is a fitting tribute to that milestone. A decade later, we’re proud to continue preserving the prison’s rich history, educating future generations through our Education Behind Bars programme, entertaining guests with our immersive activities, and welcoming major film and TV productions through our top-tier filming location.

‘‘Receiving the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice award every year for nearly a decade reflects the hard work, determination and passion of our team,’’ says Joel Campbell, CEO of Cove Attractions. ‘’We would like to thank all of the new visitors, returning guests and our annual pass holders, who step behind the imposing prison walls and leave with lasting memories.’’
