Visiting HMP Blundeston

Ormiston’s friendly team at our visitors centre at HMP Blundeston in Suffolk are on hand to make visiting easier for families of prisoners. We organise regular family and children’s visits too – meaning more time for children and young people with their loved ones and a more relaxed family-friendly environment.

There’s a small coffee bar in our visitors centre,  children’s play area and lockers for your possessions. Please do contact the team if you would like to find out more about visiting.
