Visitors to Tarbert Bridewell can experience law and order 1830s style. The one-time jail and courthouse is now home to an exhibition tracing the journey of the accused from alleged crime to punishment, by way of 19th-century prison cells, exercise yards and keepers’ quarters. There’s also an exhibition on the life and works of Thomas MacGreevy, the Irish modernist poet, who was born in Tarbert, and there’s a café and a gift shop. Events include a weekly whist drive, singing classes and art exhibitions.
