It’s been a while since we last wrote here. The Locksmith’s Dream has now finished its run, and we wanted to say thank you: to every guest who wandered Treowen’s corridors in a mask, every reviewer who took a chance on something hard to categorise, and every actor, chef and crew member who brought the house to life.
So what happened next?
The Locksmith’s Dream grew out of our love of strange stories: weird fiction, the occult histories of the Secret Histories, and the folk horror that seems to seep out of the Welsh borders. Those roots didn’t go anywhere. They grew into The Key of Dreams.
The Key of Dreams is our new overnight experience, made by the same team, Lemon Difficult Studio, in the same house. This time we’ve followed the thread into Lovecraft’s dreamlands: secret societies, uncanny cases that never quite closed, and a manor that remembers more than it should. You’ll still dine by candlelight, still sleep in a room with its own story, and still have to decide who to trust.
Rituals, revels and things in the ivy: scenes from The Key of Dreams at Treowen.
The Key of Dreams has taken on a life of its own. In the past year it has won awards and plaudits from press and audiences alike, and here are just a few of the things people have been saying:
★★★★★“The Key of Dreams is strange, thrilling, moving, and often unsettling.”
1883 Magazine
★★★★★“A twisted, sinister gem that should not be missed by any immersive fan.”
Immersive Rumours
★★★★★“A masterpiece. As a theatrical experience, this one is hard to beat.”

This site will stay up as an archive, so you can revisit the characters, the house and the reviews whenever you like. And if you’d like to come back to Treowen, the door is open.
