Story

This summer, SOS Africa will partner with Shepton Mallet Prison and opens its gates not to confine, but to liberate, as it hosts a unique charity abseil experience on the 15th of June 2024. Set against the backdrop of the prison's 400-year history, the event offers participants the opportunity to abseil from the roof of the prison's workshop building, all in the spirit of raising funds for the SOS Africa children's charity.

The event, which coincides with Father's Day weekend, promises to be an unforgettable experience for families and individuals alike. Participants will have the rare chance to explore the infamous prison workshop, venture across its walkways, and take in the expansive views from the rooftop before making their descent. It's an ideal challenge for both seasoned abseilers and first timers, offering a unique way to confront fears and bond with loved ones.
