Read why journalists and guests alike rave about the incomparable experience that is the Locksmith’s Dream!

“Ultimately, the bones of The Locksmith’s Dream feel special. There’s a thoughtfulness, intelligence and sincerity to it that is hard to resist. In a cynical world, there is a magic to running around a beautiful Welsh manor collecting arcane gossip.”

Neil Patrick Harris

“The Locksmith’s Dream experience has been stunning, it was like walking into a novel. Because the cast is stellar and fully realised, you’re not just watching them perform, they’re actually cooking dinner and helping you to your room. It feels exclusive and it feels intimate. I lived this experience and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.”

LN Podcast

“It was just an amazing experience … what they succeeded was in creating a magical experience, something really really special, really tailored, really bespoke. So much detail, great performances by the actors, amazing food, fantastic location.”

No Proscenium

“…above all else, the most thoroughly immersive event I’ve ever attended – and I’m not inexperienced in immersive events … What could you possibly compare it with? What escape room has you staying overnight in a remote manor house? What country hotel getaway comes with its own haunted storyline? What mystery dinner party is dozens of mysteries wrapped into one setting? However you look at The Locksmith’s Dream, there really is nothing else like this.”

The Escape Roomer

“The Locksmith’s Dream is unique. It is special. It is bewildering and magical and frustrating and exhilarating and sad and hilarious. It is laden with puzzles. It is a joy to explore and search. It is peopled with endearing, multi-layered characters performed by masterclass performers … for those who are willing to step outside the tedium of modern life and engage with the mystical and the magical, to suspend disbelief and be fully immersed, it will be an unforgettable, bewildering, intoxicating dream come true.”

Armchair Escapist

“The Locksmith’s Dream was a one of a kind event. We spent almost the entirety of the 24-hour period fully enveloped inside this rich world, this occult pocket dimension. And while we barely stopped the entire time we were there (as my calves will tell you), we didn’t see or experience everything by a long shot.

If you’re looking for a completely unique experience as a celebratory getaway – and it’s within your budget – The Locksmith’s Dream has something for everyone.”
