There'll be fun activities, games and treasure hunting. We'll use photo cards to locate special items and places. Come and play some old-fashioned German games, including Kegel bowling. Build a wall just like the gaol's prisoners did. Search for the missing gaol keys to earn your release!

Don’t forget to wear enclosed shoes and a weather appropriate clothing. Bring along a small hand torch if the tour continues after sunset.
