We are happy to announce that the museum will be open tomorrow from 10am with last admission at 2:30pm. Remember to wrap up warm!

On the 1st March, Christine Aird Chairperson of the Tartan LUG [Lego User Group] donated a beautiful replica build of the former HM Convict Prison Peterhead. It will now be on permanent display within the museum shop area and visitors can not only see the outside of the buildings, but also get a glimpse inside the former cells, reception area and visitor centre. The build has around 3,000 blocks and taken 3 months to build and is now a central show piece in the museum. The museum team are delighted to accept such a wonderful donation and look forward to working with Christine and her colleagues in the years ahead at various Lego Exhibitions within the museum.

Please be advised that due to ongoing adverse weather conditions the Museum will be closed to members of the public tomorrow (Thursday). We plan to reopen as normal on Friday and will issue an update at 2pm tomorrow. Thank you and stay safe.

On the 3rd March the museum will be unveiling a large scale Lego build of the former prison, built over a three month period by Christine Aird the Chair of the Tartan Lego User Group (LUG) and using circa 3,000 bricks some of which came from different locations in the world. For all Lego enthusiasts this is a must see creation, with the detail not only showing the reception area, former visitors centre and main hall, but also the internal sections of all these areas. We would like to thank Christine for this wonderful donation that will certainly prove a talking point for all ages who visit the museum in the future.

Please note our Drive in Cinema will now be here on the 7th April 2018 and not March as previously advertised. This is to allow a new multi- purpose screen to arrive to make the viewing experience a memorable one. For those with a love of Harry Potter we will be showing “ Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” and the setting of the former exercise yard will complete the theme of the night. Ticket information will be released soon and we hope to see you all here to enjoy a “magical night”

We would like to thank all our visitors that have attended our Night Tours so far. The feedback has been very encouraging and we are delighted visitors are coming from far and wide to experience life inside the prison when the” lights go out” !! If you are keen to come along please visit our website www.peterheadprisonmuseum.com and check out or events page to find out how to purchase tickets. Tickets are a standard £10 per head, but going fast. Thanks again to all our visitors to date who have helped to make this a reality.

Please be aware that tickets for the night tours are going fast, so to avoid disappointment please get in touch as soon as you can.

Please be aware due to the time of year it will be advisable on the day of your tour to check their web site www.peterheadprisonmuseum.com to ensure weather conditions do not mean the tour date needs to be re-scheduled to another evening in March 2018. The tours will look at the “History and Mystery” of life within these walls and visitors will sense how it must have felt working in the halls when the “lights were out”. Please note these tours are not based on our Halloween Events held annually, nor similar to the events hosted every second month by the “Most Haunted Experience” team, but they will give you a sense of how it must have felt when darkness fell [and more]. Aged 18 years and over tickets are a standard £10 per person and because the tour follows the daytime route wheelchair access is possible. PLEASE NOTE WRAP UP WELL AS THINGS CAN GET A LITTLE “CHILLY WITHIN !!!”

We would like to wish Fraserburgh Football Club all the best ahead of their match against Rangers on Sunday!
