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
