Ian Lawman at St  Briavels Castle Banquet of Souls Ghost Hunting Weekend 2012

Testimonial - Banquet of Souls 2010. It was a really spooky place... defo recommend a weekend there!! Brill weekend. Shelley Douglas 9^th Nov 2010.

“St Briavels” Castle is a flourishing youth hostel in a picturesque setting by day, but when the night falls the castle has a more sinister persona. There are stories of people who have left the youth hostel in the middle of the night due to extreme paranormal activity.   

With this in mind we have organised a weekend away in one of the most haunted locations in the country. Your weekend will start with a medieval style banquet on the Friday to give you time to unwind before the main event. For more information about this exciting weekend please read the details below.  

When the early morning mist slowly pervades the hillsides of the Wye Valley, Gloucestershire, there stands a medieval castle that has a reputation of being one of the most haunted castles in the UK. Phantom footsteps, dark shadows & mysterious lights are just a few of the daily occurrences at St Briavels Castle.

The site was first fortified by the Norman lord William Fitz Baderon after he obtained the estate in 1086, the first fortification was a motte & bailey fortress which was replaced by a square stone keep sometime in the 12^th century.

Throughout the medieval period St Briavels served as a royal administrative centre for the Forest of Dean. The remains of one of the hanging post's can still be seen in the loft area that once protruded out of the castle to display numerous swinging bodies.

The castle has welcomed many royal visitors over the centuries, including King John, Henry II, and Edward II who have used the castle as a hunting lodge during their visits to the Forest of Dean.

Between 1209-1211the keep was extended and strengthened & in addition domestic buildings, royal apartments, and a twin-towered gatehouse was built. The gatehouse was rebuilt by Edward I in 1292, forming the basis of the castle we can see today.

St Briavels castle is a romantic setting during the day, but when night falls the castle has a more sinister feel. The castle is now a flourishing youth hostel & has many rave reviews; however there are stories of people who have left in the middle of the night due to extreme paranormal activity.

Are you brave enough to take the challenge we set before you & sleep over for two nights?
