Quiz evenings are cost-effective, relatively simple to organise and can encourage a healthy number of customers to come in on quiet nights, but some preparation is essential to make it a success.

The popularity of the pub quiz is understandable – bringing together groups of different customers who might not otherwise meet.

Burns & Porter launched the first properly organised quiz leagues as a way of luring people into the pub on a quiet night many years ago.

Popular staple

More than four decades later, the pub quiz is a popular staple in the arsenal of pub events.

The Royal British Legion has launched a pub quiz campaign to raise money for veterans, serving personnel and their families.

PubAid urged operators to take part in the World's Biggest Pub Quiz​, which took place on 5 March to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.
