The details: The quiz night is scheduled for Sunday, 16 March 2025 at 19:00 at Kesgrave War Memorial Community Centre. Teams of four to six members can participate, with entry costing £6 per person.

What they're saying: Matthew Coward, co-owner of All About Hearing, said: "Our charity quiz nights have become a real highlight in the community, and we're thrilled to be bringing it back for another year. It's a fantastic opportunity to have fun while shining a light on this incredible charity."

What to expect: The evening, sponsored by marketing agency, Ginger Pickle, will feature:

  • A bar

  • Big screen

  • Prizes donated by local businesses

The bottom line: The family-run hearing care company, which operates two clinics in Ipswich, expects tickets to sell out quickly. Those interested can book via www.allabouthearing.co.uk/quiz.
