Pubs to host quiz nights for a good cause

This year’s quiz will see more than 1,500 pubs, bars, and clubs across the country take part.

The annual event, organised by industry group PubAid, has raised more £405,000 for hundreds of charities over the last three years.

Co-founder of PubAid, Des O’Flanagan, said: ‘We’re delighted with the response to the quiz so far, and we’re confident more pubs will register before March. The quiz is easy for pubs to host, a lot of fun for the customers who take part, and a great way to support a charity. It’s a genuine no brainer!’

-The Dolphin, Portsmouth

-The Jolly Roger, Gosport

-The Ironmaster, Fareham
