Tour of the Damned Weekend

About this event

Our Ghostly Getaways team will take you on a journey that follows the devastation and harrowing locations left in the wake of the Black Death, whilst staying in a haunted hotel set within the beautiful Derbyshire and South Yorkshire countryside. Your weekend will begin from the moment you check into Mosborough Hall Hotel. Set within the picturesque village of Mosborough, originally a 12th Century manor house with a very sinister and interesting medieval history relating to Henry VIII. On the Friday evening you will be greeted by our team, before retiring to the Old Medieval Hall for a delicious three course supper. We will then make our way by car to the magnificent Bolsover Castle for our first ghost hunt of the weekend , where countless bodies of plague victims are thought to be buried beneath the castle grounds. Bolsover Castle is a typically imposing medieval residence which stands proudly over the Derbyshire countryside. With a history of hauntings dating back over hundreds of years and more sightings and ghostly experiences than we could ever hope to mention, Bolsover Castle has everything that a ghost hunter could wish for. On Saturday, you will awake to breakfast, before heading by coach to the fascinating village of Eyam, famously known as the Plague Village . Surrounded by quaint little cottages, it’s hard to grasp that this picturesque place could have such a tragic story to tell. We will have a guided tour of the village with an insight into its past before a light lunch at the 17th Century Miners Arms. You will have time to explore the village and its places of interest before we return to Mosborough Hall for some relaxation time before yet another three course supper in the Old Medieval Hall. After dinner on the Saturday, we have the opportunity to investigate Mosborough Hall Hotel , which is steeped in history and a truly barbaric past. Numerous ghostly encounters have been witnessed. We will have access to the Lord Darcy suite, one of the halls most haunted bedrooms, where the White Lady of Mosborough Hall is said to reside. On Sunday morning, you will once again enjoy a delicious breakfast before heading home.
