Three hours inside Derby Gaol after dark

The Derby Gaol Experience is billed as an intense paranormal encounter rather than a standard visit. According to the event listing, guests will step inside Derby Gaol for three hours with the venue’s team leading the night.

The setting is central to the appeal. Derby Gaol is presented in the listing as one of Derby’s most haunted prisons, and the event is aimed at people willing to spend an evening in that atmosphere while taking part in guided spirit communication methods.

This is a night for readers who are specifically looking for a hands-on paranormal experience. The source description points to a close, participatory format, with visitors involved in the activities rather than watching from a distance.

Table tilting, glass divination and Ouija board sessions

The programme includes several traditional spirit communication methods named in the event details. These include table tilting, glass divination and a Ouija board session.

The listing says each method is designed to connect with whatever may still linger within the gaol’s walls. Readers should treat that as the event’s stated theme and format: the night is being sold as a paranormal experience, not as a general history talk or family attraction.

A simple meal is included during the evening. Guests will be given Gaol Broth served with cheese and crusty bread, described in the listing as a warming meal during the experience.

Booking status and practical checks before attending

Places are described as limited in the source notice, with booking directed through the Visit Derby website. No ticket price is shown in the supplied event details, so anyone planning to attend should check the booking page before making arrangements.

The published venue address is Derby Gaol, 50 Friargate, Derby, DE1 1DF. The event is listed for Friday, 12 June 2026, from 7pm until 10pm.

No accessibility, transport or parking details are included in the source notice. The Visit Derby listing also advises readers to verify event information directly with the event host or facilitator before booking or making plans.
