Part of Hastings Book Festival
French's, Hastings

If books and reading are among your passions, this is the pub quiz for you!

Put together your team of bookish boffins for a night of fun, flummox-ing and un-befuddling!

David Quantick, renowned Emmy-winning screenwriter, journalist and author, will be your host and chief befuddler.

There will be prizes, kindly sponsored by Earth Island Books, for the winners, the best team names, and the most ludicrous answer!

Tickets £40 for a team of 4, or £15 for individuals (if you don’t have a team, we can set you up with one on the night).
