Epic. Cruel. Tragic.
Wicklow Gaol’s story is interwoven with the history of Wicklow and Ireland itself.
Wicklow Gaol is an unforgettable journey through an original prison building, telling the stories of the men, women and children imprisoned here under British rule over two centuries of turbulent history.

Suitable for all the family, the fully-engaging audio-visual experience features holographic appearances of the Gaoler and characters from the prison who share their stories of the times.

Wicklow Gaol is educational & fun – it’s all indoors, so doesn’t suffer from climatic influences!
