Guided tours of one of Carlisle's most historic buildings will be taking place this February half term.

The west Carlisle Citadel Tour, which in days gone by would house prisoners awaiting sentence from a Crown court judge, will be opened up for guided tours from Tuesday February 18 to Friday February 21.

Hosted by Great Guided Tours, the events will include a recounting of what really went on within the historic jail walls.

A half term "goody bag" will be handed out to each youngster participating in the tours.

Hot and cold drinks will also be provided.

Tours will take place at 1pm and 3pm each day, lasting for one 1 hour and a quarter hours.

Tickets can be purchased from the Carlisle Tourist Information Centre, 01228 598596. Spaces are limited so booking is advised.
