An eerie video shows what it's like inside an abandoned wedding venue, with balloons still inflated, Mr and Mrs signs left standing on the dance floor, and a fully-stocked bar.

The historic venue looks like it's being prepared for a celebration, with tables set and bows on the chairs.

Unfortunately, Durker Roods Hotel in Meltham, West Yorkshire, hasn't held a party since 2021 after it closed suddenly.

Urban explorer Daniel Sims, 33, and two friends visited the property back at the start of February and he has recently released a video for his YouTube channel BeardedReality.

The property was built in 1870 and converted into a hotel in 1975, with 30 en suite rooms.

"I had actually had my eyes on this place for quite a while after hearing it had fallen into issues,” Daniel told Jam Press.

"I had heard the place was open but sealed so we decided to take a chance and investigate ourselves.

"[Having visited it while it was still open] I was excited to see how the place had changed over time."

In the clip, Daniel and his friend find a window that has already been broken.

He said: "We were extremely lucky as the entire property was sealed apart from one window that had been broken into previously at some point but no idea when that had happened."

Inside, they found the hotel almost exactly as it had been when it was closed last year.

Daniel said: "Everything had been left here, the bar was still stocked and there was a kitchen full of supplies with food.

"Once you get over the shock that such a place has become abandoned and could easily be back up and running after a little bit of fixing up, you are left with more questions than answers.

"The function room still had tables set with so much leftover and there were rooms ready to be used.

"There is a lot of money invested in this place and such a historic place is worth a lot of money but now just left to rot."

After 40 minutes of looking around, the group was caught by the police and asked to leave.

Daniel said: 'We had noticed lights outside originally we thought it was some other people joining us to explore however quickly realised it was the police.

"However, personally, I was not worried as legally I had not broken the law in any way and because I film what I do, I could show the police officers exactly how we entered and what we were up to.

"Our intentions are to explore and document these places we do not force entry take anything or break the law in the slightest. That is the difference between what we do. Trespass itself is a civil issue not a crime."
