There are some seriously spookyevents at Marshall's Mill, including a ghost tour where you can speak to the spirits from the former mill.
Hidden in Holbeck Urban Village lies a truly terrifying past. Marshall's Mill was once considered one of the biggest factories in the world, employing over 2000 members of staff in the 1800s.
The former flax spinning mill has some dark secrets hiding beneath its walls and for one-night-only, you can attempt to contact the spirits still lurking in the mill.
Guided by expert ghost hunters, Simply Ghost Nights, is a free ghost walk that takes you deep into the building and lets you explore Marshall Mill's eerie past.
Listen to the terrifying tales of the building's history and speak to the ghosts hiding around each corner as you make your way through the maze of corridors.

The mill was locally-known for its use of child labour and torturous discipline methods, so this ghost tour is certainly not for the faint hearted.
Since the Grade II listed building the late 1800s, the site has been taken over by a number of different textile retailers before redeveloping in the late 1990s. The space is now used partially for office space and to regenerate what is now Holbeck Urban Village.
There will be four ghost walk leaders and groups will consist of ten people on each tour of Marshall's Mill.
For those that are looking for fewer nightmares this Halloween, the cult classic Hocus Pocus will be shown over the road at The Cross Keys.
All events are free, with all voluntary donation made on the day going towards Leeds Women's Aid.
Due to limited capacity, tickets to reserve your place still need to have been organised prior to the event.
After closing for the entire second day, The Warehouse stage at Leeds Festival has once again been forced to evacuate.
One of the most anticipated dance acts of the day has been cancelled due to health and safety concerns just moments before the set.
Sheffield DJ Silva Bumpa was due to take to The Warehouse stage today at 1:30pm, but the set was cancelled due to overcrowding.
It's not the first time this has happened at Leeds Festival 2026, as yesterday Omar+'s set was cancelled due to the same issue and the stage was subsequently closed for the rest of the day.
The Warehouse stage is completely new for this year, and supposedly is designed specifically for dance music...which is quite ironic.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Silva Bumpa said: "So so sorry Leeds Fest but due to over crowding my set was cancelled last min I was just behind the stage and got told right before such a massive shame."
Prospa, another prominent DJ who's set was cancelled at Reading on Friday afternoon, spoke up on the situation: "We are disappointed in The Warehouse stage closure at Reading Festival. We were told it wasn't possible to play whilst on the way. This was due to too many people outside the stage.
"We have seen this happen before at larger festivals in the UK. It's time to double the capacity of tents or put dance music on the main stage."
It comes after another dance stage, LS23, was closed mid-set last night due to a health and safety hazard when all the lights suddenly switched off and ravers were forced to evacuate.
If yesterday is anything to go by, we wouldn't be surprised if The Warehouse was closed for the rest of the day which means anticipated sets from Rossi and Mall Grab will also be cancelled.

For the second day in a row, a huge set has been cancelled due to overcrowding at Reading and Leeds Festival.
Day two of the festival and there's some pretty disappointed ravers hanging their head as one of the biggest dance music sets of the day is cancelled.
Omar+, a rising British electronic DJ and producer, was due to play on the brand-new Warehouse stage at Reading yesterday and Leeds today.
Yesterday's set was cancelled last minute due to overcrowding, and low and behold the same has happened here in Leeds.
Announcing the sad news to his story, Omar+ said "Actually lost for words. My Leeds set has been cancelled due to overcrowding."
He then went on to show a screenshot of a text message, reading: "I've never seen something like this in my entire life where two shows back to back are cancelled due to overcrowding."
