It has become the biggest radio programme in Norfolk and now the Treasure Quest team miraculously find their way to the Playhouse stage for an evening of interactive fun and frolics! 

 Presenters David Clayton and Becky Betts reveal the hidden secrets of Treasure Quest and why it is Becky can’t understand simple map directions and David can’t actually unfold the map successfully ! “Navigator Ian” will also be there along with the promise that the identity of the devious Questmaster will be revealed.

Be prepared for some of the programme’s hilarious but slightly naughty bloopers and some surprises the programme team know nothing about. If you love the programme and can’t turn it off come and share the addiction with a Playhouse full of like-minded listeners – and it’s all for charity, Children In Need.

This epic comic fairytale was the surprise hit of the Edinburgh Fringe 2008, with 15 extra shows scheduled in at the last minute on top of their month-long run.
