Tucked away in the woodlands of Leeds is Hazlewood Castle, a beautiful wedding venue with a sinister past. Frequent supernatural sightings of monks wearing black habits have been reported at the castle which first served as a monastery and then a family home. The apparitions can be seen walking away from the St Mary’s courtyard either towards the laundry storage area or into a Yew Tree. Guests have also complained about the incessant crying of a baby when there were no babies on staying at the castle as well as an uninvited guest slipping underneath the covers with guests staying in the Rose bedroom. Hazlewood Castle offers various wedding packages including one for smaller, intimate weddings and the very popular Woodland Packages that is perfect for couples seeking a ceremony with a back-to-nature feel.
