Quiz Night

The Porchester runs a Wednesday quiz that hits the middle ground. The questions are broad enough that you'll know some answers, specific enough that you won't ace it running solo. Two quid in, a chance at proper prizes out. Most of the appeal is the midweek social anchor: a reliable excuse to show up somewhere on a work night without heavy planning or price tag.

Bring teammates with different knowledge and odd facts. The format rewards breadth over specialist depth. Arrive by 7pm if you want decent seating.
