Keith Brymer Jones Returns in Series 3 of Our Welsh Chapel Dream — Airing Soon
keith brymer jones and partner Marj Hogarth are back to restore a 163-year-old derelict chapel on the Llyn Peninsula in Series 3 of Our Welsh Chapel Dream. The pair begin by renovating the downstairs Sunday School into living space — a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and snug — while ripping out fungus and attempting to control dry rot. Our Welsh Chapel Dream returns Tuesday 7th April at 8pm ET.
Series 3: restoration work up front
The new series follows the practical, day-to-day work of converting a derelict 163-year-old chapel into a forever home with a working pottery studio, with production handled by Love Productions. Early weeks of the build focus on the downstairs Sunday School: transforming that space into the couple’s living quarters and addressing significant decay. Fungus removal and dry rot control are flagged as immediate obstacles before interior fitting can proceed.
The chapel project is presented as more than a private renovation. The production highlights the intent to pair a domestic rebuild with a functioning pottery workspace, bringing the couple’s creative life into the restored building. That mix of live craft and conservation remains central to the series’ storyline.
Keith Brymer Jones heads live tour: ‘Us, Pots, and a Welsh Chapel’
Outside the screen, Keith Brymer Jones — described in the coverage as a ceramic designer and TV judge — will perform a new show with Marj Hogarth titled ‘Us, Pots, and a Welsh Chapel’ as part of an 18-date UK tour. The tour opens at Aberystwyth Arts Centre on May 13 and will visit venues including the Grand Opera House York, where the couple will appear on Saturday, May 16, before concluding at Charter Hall, Colchester on June 25.
The live show is billed to mix pottery demonstrations from Keith Brymer Jones with Marj Hogarth discussing the restoration of Capel Salem, a Grade II listed 19th-century chapel in North Wales featured in the Channel 4 series. Audiences will see live craft demonstrations and hear the couple share the practical hurdles they faced while restoring the building.
Challenges, community and what comes next
Coverage of the project highlights concrete challenges encountered during the restoration: navigating Welsh planning regulations, coping with roof leaks and stretching a limited budget. The pair also intend the project to serve a wider purpose, revitalising a community hub where local potters can train as apprentices and reintegrating the chapel into local life.
What to expect next: viewers will get the full restoration arc on screen from the initial fungus and dry rot battles through the conversion of the Sunday School, while live audiences on the 18-date tour will see demonstrations and hear firsthand accounts of the restoration process. For those following both the broadcast and the stage events, keith brymer jones and Marj Hogarth’s work will be visible in workshop and community settings as the build progresses and the tour unfolds.
