Following on from the success of our Halloween Quiz at the Maids Head hotel in 2024, we are starting 2025 with another iconic quiz night. This time hosted at Dragon Hall in the heart of Norwich, the event is for teams of 4-6 to test their knowledge, enjoy some laughs and have a fun filled night of raffles, auctions and more!
This year we are changing it up, with the donation fee covering the cost of a locally sourced buffett as well as a welcome drink and your entry to the quiz. Bring your pals and celebrate Valentines Day without the pressure!
