The line up of activities includes:

All this and much more awaits brave visitors.
- Go Darker Tour. The Go Darker Tour replaces standard heritage tours for October, taking guests deeper into the darker side of history, crime, and punishment.

- Paranormal Audio Trail App. Also launching on 17 October is the Paranormal Audio Trail app. Bring headphones be immersed in the paranormal history and infamous spirits of Bodmin Jail.
- Ghost Walks & Paranormal Investigations. Half-term visitors can take part in even more Ghost Walks, running Tuesday through Saturday. Led by candlelight, these tours reveal the spirits of the Jail and Cornwall’s most infamous tales. For those feeling brave, Paranormal Investigations After Dark offer the chance to hunt for spirits using specialist equipment under the guidance of expert paranormal wardens.
