Description

Bodmin Jail is a large, unique, tourist attraction offering daily visitor experiences. This fascinating building, steeped in both social and architectural history, offers guests an amazing insight into Cornish penal life over the centuries.

Visit the cold dank cells, look up at the thin rays of light filtering through a small barred window and imagine being sentenced to even a week in such desolation, a very lonely life with the knowledge
each day would bring more of the same cold, hunger and hard labour on the treadmill as a civil prisoner, or "cannon ball" catch for naval prisoners; designed to keep you fit for battle on your release.

See the only working execution pit in the UK. Discovered during renovation works in 2005, the pit has now been restored to its' full working order, with the able assistance of Gary Ewart, one of the
UK's leading authorities on hanging. We plan to recreate Bodmin's assizes court within the main attraction. This ITT is to assist with the
installation of high tech AV equipment which will enhance the visitor experience and educational outings.

The purchase of this is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. We will compare tenders received on a compliance basis only.
