Ruthin Gaol

Denbighshire Heritage Service staff are working hard in preparation for the new 2022 season at Ruthin Gaol, after an extensive flood badly damaged the basement and exhibitions in January 2021.

Renovations are still ongoing, which means from 1st April 2022 the Gaol staff will be offering guided tours of the outside spaces at the Gaol, which will hopefully grow to include the inside spaces as restoration work is completed. This follows on from the success of these tours last season and offers visitors a new insight to the history and development of the Gaol and what happened to it when it closed as a prison in 1916.

The museum objects, which required specialist restoration after the flood, have now been returned to Ruthin and placed safely in storage ready to go back on display when the site is fully open to the public.

See our website and social media outlets for more information and updates and we hope to be opening our cell doors soon to let you in.
