About us
Situated opposite the university, this old prison with its heavy iron doors, fortress-like walls and lock-up cells (each with original graffiti still scrawled across the walls), is the real McCoy.
Escape to their bar, the Gallows, for a pint. It’s a great meeting point for students and travellers alike and an easy place to join in the action.
Weekends see skydiving, trips to game reserves and live music.
