HMP Leyhill, Visits & getting there

Visits are held at the following times

  • Tues: 13:30-15:30
  • Thurs: 13:30-15:30
  • Sat: 13:30-15:30
  • Sun: 13:30-15:30

All social visits are booked by the Prisoners, so there is no phone/email/web site booking facilities. When the prisoner has booked a visit it is their responsibility to inform the visitors. There isn’t a visitors centre at the prison, but like at all prisons there are restrictions on what can be taken into the visits hall e.g. mobile phones, cigarettes etc and these must be left within in your car or at the prison gate. You may be searched prior to admission to the prison visits hall. The prison does arrange some “family day” visits midweek during 3 majors school holidays.
