The Judges Lodgings

WAS £35 – NOW £27!

The Judge’s Lodging recently opened its doors to paranormal investigation teams and has been featured twice on Most Haunted. You will have access to the full suite of 14 period rooms of the building, including the judge’s apartments, servants’ workrooms, two holding cells and the vast courtroom itself. The building was opened as a court and judge’s residence in 1826, seeing cases of all types from throughout the county. It continued to operate as a court for 150 years. The previous building on the site was the county gaol;  a grim affair according to surviving accounts. It was demolished to make way for the grand building you see today.

The murder in Rhayader of one judge in the 1530s was to change the life of the tiny border town of Presteigne forever.

Will you hear the footsteps of the spirits who once walked these floors? Will the judge who was brutally murdered come forward for the night?

Light refreshments will be provided complimentary. Hot
