This week’s episode comes to you from the Soldiers of Shropshire Museum inside Shrewsbury Castle, and it’s a big one. The Traitors is coming to Shrewsbury… well, a very close cousin anyway. Traitors at the Castle is a brand new immersive event set in 1940s Great Britain.

Alex Whiteley is joined by event organiser Nick Trevor and Richard Gough from the museum for a spoiler-free chat all about the event, how it works, what people can expect, and why hosting something of this scale is such a big deal for the museum and the castle.

It’s also a bit of a call to arms for anyone who wants to collaborate, get involved, or help put Shrewsbury Castle and the brilliant Soldiers of Shropshire Museum firmly on the map.
