SpeedQuizzing at The Ackhorne

SpeedQuizzing returns to The Ackhorne on Thursday 6 August, with Alan Leach hosting the night from 8pm. If you've never been, it's a team game rather than a solo effort, and it's built around the clock as much as the questions. You'll want to get a group together before you head in, as you'll be playing as a team throughout the evening.

There's a limit of eight players per team, so it's easy enough to pull together a few friends or colleagues without needing a whole busload. The prizes and the beer are both on the table, which gives the whole thing a bit more of a competitive edge than your average pub quiz. It's the kind of night that works best when you've got a decent mix of people around the table, each bringing something different to the answers.

Alan Leach opens the evening at 8pm, and it runs through until 11pm, so it's a full three-hour session. It's for ages 18 and over, and it costs £2 to play. The Ackhorne is at 9 Saint Martin's Lane, YO1 6LR, right in the heart of York, so it's an easy spot to find if you're coming from the city centre. Get your team sorted, grab a few drinks, and you're set for the night.
