Dreadnought Quiz

Dreadnought South West are running a fundraising quiz night at Exeter Phoenix on Friday 13 November, from 7pm to 9pm in Studio 1. Every penny raised goes directly to the charity's work, so it's a night where your entry fee actually does something.

If you haven't come across them before, Dreadnought is a South West charity that relies entirely on grant funding to keep going. That money pays for their workshops, for collecting stories for the Rebellious Sounds Archive, and for staging Occupy the Airwaves, their annual takeover on International Women's Day. They've already got their sights on 2028, when they plan to mark the centenary of all women being given the vote with events across the South West.

The night itself is a general knowledge quiz, so you'll need to pull from a few different pockets of knowledge to get through it. You can book in advance as a team of up to five, but if you're turning up on the night without a group, you can just join one of the teams already there. There's also a raffle running alongside the quiz, so you might walk away with a prize even if your general knowledge lets you down.

Refreshments are available from the Exeter Phoenix Cafe Bar, and the session is recommended for ages 16 and over. Tickets are £5 per person, subject to a £1.50 ticketing system charge, and it runs from 7pm to 9pm in Studio 1.
