A night at the Bellfoundry Museum and workshop.
Join us for a paranormal investigation as we take you through several key areas of the foundry, including the Casting Hall, Tuning & Fitting Shop, Engine Room, and the Smithy.
Guided by our professional team, you’ll work in small groups across different areas; you can’t help but feel the ghostly atmosphere of this foundry, where residual energy is still very apparent. Are the workers who used to make these bells still overseeing the work? Long after they have gone?
Our team was blown away after our trial; we witnessed unexplained phenomena, shadowy figures in the casting hall, taps and bumps that couldn’t be explained, and some guests felt a tight clasp around their throat and an overwhelming sense of sadness.
After speaking with the staff, who have witnessed many unexplained events over time, including hearing ghostly laughs, items being moved and then reappearing a moment later and a strong feeling of being watched, they do not doubt that the Bellfoundry is haunted.
So, what will it be? Will you join us? Be one of the first to investigate this amazing venue… exclusive to Haunted Heritage.
Taylor’s Bell Foundry is the world’s largest working foundry. The business originated in the 14th century, and the Taylor family took over in 1784. The UK’s last remaining bellfoundry, casting, restoring and tuning bells around the world
The foundry has a museum of bells and bellfounding, the only one of its kind in the UK. It is one of the few Victorian purpose-built manufacturing sites still being used for its original purpose, and belongs to a tradition of bellfounding that stretches back to medieval Leicester.
Trust.
With thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Loughborough Town Deal, alongside other Trusts and Foundations, private donors, organisations and communities, the Bellfoundry is now a thriving hub of activity once again, and is still producing some of the finest bells in the world. It is working in partnership with the bellfounding firm John Taylor and Company.
The Loughborough Bellfoundry Trust was established as a charitable incorporated organisation in 2016 to protect the historic John Taylor Bellfoundry building.
Join us as we step inside England’s last working bellfoundry, where history and craftsmanship are still on display today. We have access to all areas, including the casting Hall, Tuning room and fitting shop, engine room, and more.
