Here’s how you can take part in the Traitors in Basingstoke for a good cause.

Phil and Sarah Kingston, from Brighton Hill, are hosting a Traitors evening on October 30 at the Wote Street Club to raise money for Asthma and Lung UK.

The games will be run by professional company, The Traitors Party Event, with traitors secretly selected and players taking part in games as they try to identify who is deceiving the group.

Phil said: “The traitors will try to stay hidden, the faithful will try to find them. There are games and puzzles to be done, but the main aim is to find the traitors.

“It’s exactly the same as the game, just on a smaller scale.”

The cause is close to the family as their daughter Lola, now six, was diagnosed with asthma when she was four.

Phil is also preparing to run the 2027 London Marathon for the charity, with the family hoping to raise £2,500 through a series of local fundraising activities.

Phil said: “It’s quite a close charity to us, we want to do what we can. If we can give back to a charity that can help with asthma, we want to do that.

“They’re just trying to make sure that people with asthma and lung issues can live as full a life as possible.”

Lola is currently taking part in a study at University Hospital Southampton trialling asthma inhalers.

All of the profits that come from the game will go to Asthma and Lung UK.

Guests will also be able to buy a “shield” to protect themselves from being eliminated during the game, with money raised going directly to Asthma + Lung UK.

Wote Street Club has donated the room hire, while The Traitors Party Event is providing its services at a reduced rate, allowing more of the proceeds to go to charity.

Tickets will include a welcome drink and snacks, while food and drinks will also be available to buy.

There are 56 places available, with tickets costing £40.
