Punch’s Great British Pub Quiz reaches regional finals stage

As the dates for the regional finals are announced, figures have revealed that over 1,000 Punch pubs have taken part in this year’s Great British Pub Quiz.

The teams who have made it to this stage have now been invited to a local Punch pub* to compete to reach the national final taking place on Sunday 25^th September 2016. There is only one spot available at the national final per region, with only the best pub quizzers making the last stage held at Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Molineux Stadium.

Stephen Martin, Category Manager at Punch, says, ‘Punch Publicans see a huge benefit in taking part in Britain’s biggest pub quiz with retail sales and footfall increasing significantly.

“The 1,004 Publicans have hosted over 6,000 transactional evenings between them with the resulting retail sales coming to nearly £1million across all participating pubs.”

Each of the 20 pubs hosting a regional final will be working with Redtooth, professional event organisers, who are experts at driving footfall into pubs. The events company provides the venues with plasma TVs and a full mic set to ensure the night runs smoothly for the respective Publican. In addition to enjoying a fun-filled quiz, all teams will each be offered eight free pints as well as a buffet lunch at no cost. Four personalised t-shirts will also be given to each team to make them stand out from the crowd and hopefully spur them on to success.
