Bring your friends, family, colleagues, or community together and make a real difference by hosting The Big Quiz for St Barnabas.
Hosting a quiz, whether in person, online, or as part of a larger event, is a simple and fun way to raise vital funds to support people in Lincolnshire living with life-limiting or terminal illnesses.
The Big Quiz is all about bringing people of all ages and abilities together to enjoy some friendly competition, test trivia skills, and make a real difference.
Whether you’re a small group of friends, a big team, or organising something in your workplace, you can take part your way – host it virtually, include it as part of a larger event, or keep it simple with a quiet night in.
Signing up is free and includes a quiz pack to make hosting stress-free and easy! We’ve written six rounds for you, from General Knowledge, TV and Films to Food and Drink. All you need is a confident quiz master.
Get your team together and put your knowledge to the test at our annual quiz night!
Teams of 6 – 8 people can enjoy a fun-filled evening of questions, with each table provided with two bottles of wine, soft drinks and nibbles. You’re also welcome to bring your own food and drinks.

The quiz was founded in 1996 by John Davey in memory of his wife, Anne, after his family received compassionate care from St Barnabas.
Nearly 30+ years on, the quiz continues to bring the community together in Anne’s memory while raising much-needed funds for St Barnabas Hospice.
