Cross Keys attraction gives full support to 'harbouring criminals'

Thursday, 29 May 2025 15:57

Salisbury's Live Escape attraction is supporting this year's 'Jail & Bail', a fundraising event for Salisbury Hospice Charity.

Jail & Bail is an entertaining courtroom event which sees local people arrested, charged with their crimes (entirely fictitious, of course) and then placed on trial.

If those jailbirds are found guilty of their ‘wicked and entirely fictional crimes’ (which they inevitably will), they will be taken into custody at the cells within Live Escape Salisbury at Cross Keys.

The 'offenders' will only be released if they can raise bail of at least £999 for Salisbury Hospice from their connections, including friends, family and colleagues in this fun courtroom drama event.

Owner of Live Escape Salisbury Claire Pitcher told Salisbury Radio, "We're very very pleased and excited to again be hosting the Salisbury Hospice Jail & Bail event. Our executioner will again be overseeing the prisoners - ensuring they arrive at the court house sharpish for their sentencing and then straight to prison where they will remain behind bars under his watchful eye.

"Between us and the brilliant fundraising talents of Salisbury Hospice we're sure we can smash the numbers we raised last year. It's truly a fantastic event to be part of and if you're around in Salisbury on the day do stop by the jail at Live Escape Salisbury in The Cross Keys."

There are six 'perps' this year are Andy North (Chamber of Commerce), Christian Airey (Wessex Care), Dave Hearn (Sarum Properties), Martin Rossiter (PFK Francis Clark), Anthony Rice (S&W Group) and Craig Haywood (Tesco Extra)

Live Escape Salisbury offers a twist on the traditional 'escape room' by offering Mediaeval Games, Pirate Games and Ghost Hunts in their hidden 14th Century building in The Cross Keys.

On Friday 13th June these naughty individuals will be fully arrested, placed in the cells at Live Escape Salisbury before being tried for their crimes (entirely fictitious, of course).

Can you help this year's jailbirds break free?
