The R Inn in Station Road will join forces with other venues across the country when it holds a quiz night on Sunday, March 4.

More than 50,000 quizzers in 2,000 venues raised £200,000 for charities in 2016 and 2017, and R Inn owner Kris Malde hopes to see a good turnout.

He said: “We hold a quiz once a month and a couple of months ago we did one for Cransley Hospice.

“It just happened that this month’s coincides with the world’s biggest pub quiz event so we thought we’d join in.

“Prostate Cancer UK is a charity that is close to many of us and thousands of pubs are taking part.

“We want to raise as much money as possible.”

The quiz starts at 7pm in the Ritz and tickets to the event are £2 per person, with food included.
