Inside its thick stone walls you'll find interactive displays on archaeology, costumes, armour and textiles.

A 21st century glass lift will take you between floors and a vivid film all about the Border Reivers will bring this violent era of Northumberland's history to life. There is also a range of family-friendly activities including the chance to meet the gaoler to find out more about how criminals were treated.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Hexham Old Gaol, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
