Here at The Cornish Bank, we enthusiastically believe in setting ourselves quiz-centric new years resolutions that we stick to inconsistently and labour through in spite of insufferable Simpsons rounds and rubbish prizes that, at best, helps us clear through the ever expanding clutter in the store cupboard. At best.
With that encouraging thought in mind, welcome one and all to the long-anticipated return of SIMON SHAFT as he brings you the first MASSIVE QUIZ of 2025.
Riddled with convoluted, poorly researched but nonetheless humorous "facts" and delightful banter delivered by the handsome bar sponge himself, join us on the main stage and revel in the joyful absurdity that is our pub quiz.
Free entry (when you see the prizes you'll get why)
Bar opens 7pm - Start time is roughly 7:30, depending on turn out.
Bring a team of your best and brightest, or whoever you can get your grubby little hands on. See you there!
