About The Event
PTTP are extremely excited to share this brand new location with you and we kick off our very first event here for our Halloween 2024 special! Tickets are priced at only £35 with a deposit option available.
The 'keep' or armoury at Dorchester was an unusually realistic interpretation of a mediaeval castle, by the army's standards, which must have been in response to local sensibilities over the historic character of the town.'
The design did not find favour with everyone. Pevsner, in 'The Buildings of England" describes it thus:
'The monumental gatehouse is a knock-down affair. Two round towers to the front, the archway between. Three storeys of long slit windows. Rock faced with a vengeance. Today it is a grade 2 listed building. The designer was probably Major AC Seddon R.E, head of the War Office Design branch at this time...The barracks behind were humble by comparison.'
Reports of Shadow figures walking through the KEEP and the sounds of soldiers marching..
We can’t wait to get into the KEEP and start investigating the history of the amazing location and we are excited to share this with you!
Hot and cold drinks and snacks will be provided during the event.
The evening will consist of group time, solo time (if you feel comfortable) and free time at the end of the night to explore in your smaller groups of friends and families.
