Tuesday Trivia at The Haven Bridge

Every Tuesday, The Haven Bridge pub hosts a popular quiz night. This quiz is known for its varied rounds, covering everything from general knowledge and current affairs to music and film. The quiz master is usually quite entertaining, and there are often spot prizes up for grabs throughout the night. Check their Facebook page for up-to-date information on the prize pool and any themed rounds. The Haven Bridge also has a great menu with plenty of options for a pre-quiz dinner.

Wednesday Quiz at The Marine

The Marine is a lovely pub with stunning sea views, and every Wednesday they host a quiz night that's popular with both locals and tourists. The quiz tends to be a more relaxed affair than some of the others, making it a great option for those who are new to pub quizzes or just looking for a casual night out. They often have themed food nights on Wednesdays too, so be sure to check what's on offer when you arrive. Plus, it's close to SEA LIFE and other attractions!

Thursday Night Challenge at The Nelson

If you're looking for a more challenging quiz, head to The Nelson on a Thursday night. This quiz is known for its difficult questions and its competitive atmosphere. It's definitely one for the serious quiz enthusiasts! The prizes are usually pretty good, though, so it's worth giving it a go if you think you have what it takes. The Nelson also boasts a fantastic selection of real ales, making it the perfect spot for a post-quiz pint (win or lose!).

Friday Fun Quiz at The Courtyard

For a fun and lighthearted end to the week, pop over to The Courtyard. They host a themed fun quiz perfect for families and large groups. Check their social media for the latest theme and start time. Great Yarmouth's Pleasure Beach is also nearby.

Saturday and Sunday Quiz Options

While some pubs take a break on the weekend, check with local bars near the St George Hotel as some offer spontaneous quizzes or themed events. Remember to always check the individual pub's website or social media pages for the most up-to-date information on quiz times, entry fees, and prizes. It's also a good idea to book a table in advance, especially if you're planning on going with a large group.
