Within each and every copy of The Stranger’s Guide to Talliston is a token that allows entry into an annual lottery to win a quite wondrous and unique prize.
​
Every year, at 12:00 midday on 6th October, a grand draw will be held to award the fabled Golden Key to Talliston to one fortunate child and their guardian.
The winner's prize will include ownership of a private and exclusive holiday living inside the magical house and gardens featured in the book.

THE GOLDEN KEY TO
LIVE INSIDE THE BOOK
Every one of the thirteen chapters of The Stranger's Guide To Talliston is also a real room within the house and gardens. Imagine what it would be like to dine upon bone china crockery in the Victorian Welsh watchtower or sleep in the haunted bedroom at Ravnsbrae Manor. That is all possible to the child who wins the Golden Key and opens the door to the fantastical labyrinth of Talliston.
