Discover Truly Horrible History

Experience a tour with a difference at Lifford Old Courthouse as your students learn about life in Lifford Jail.  Your students won’t just be told about the cramped conditions, the painful punishments and the disgusting diet, they’ll get to experience them!

As well as being terrific fun, our school tours are also great unique learning experiences and perfect year round, not just at the end of term.

If you’re looking for an activity with a difference, then look no further than our Junior Jailbreak Escape Room activity.

Junior Jailbreak is a kid’s version of our popular Jailbreak Escape Room. Kids are placed in a room filled with puzzles and locked boxes and need to solve these puzzles to unlock a box containing a key to escape the cell.  With 30 minutes to escape from the cell they’ll have to work together as a team in order to achieve their aim.  Great for older classes.
