The Old Bell: Historic Derby hotel where you can take a Christmas ghost tour (if you dare)
The tour will take guests “inside some of the spaces where staff dare not go”
Most of us will be enjoying one or two Christmas-themed events over the next couple of weeks.


From looking around a Christmas market to having a go at ice skating, there are plenty of ways to get yourself in the mood for the big day.

The Old Bell Hotel, in Sadler Gate, is running two Christmas ghost tours over the next couple of weeks - and believe us when we say they’re not for the faint-hearted.
The tour on Wednesday, December 20 - will take daring guests “inside some of the spaces where staff dare not go”.
Built in 1650, the Old Bell Hotel is widely regarded as one of the city’s most haunted places and has been the subject of countless paranormal sightings over its 373-year history.
Those in attendance at the Christmas ghost tours will enjoy bangers and mash with a festive glass of mulled wine in-front of a roaring fire, while listening to spine-chilling tales about the hotel’s dark history.
