We’re hosting our inaugural fundraising Pub Quiz Night!

DATE: 6th November 2025

TIME: Quiz takes place  from 7pm-9pm.  Doors open at 6pm to explore the Museum beforehand

LOCATION: The Enid Porter Room, Museum of Cambridge, 2-3 Castle Street, Cambridge, CB3 0AQ

COST: £15 per person (includes free drink and free private museum entry)

Join us for a night of facts, fun and fundraising as the Museum of Cambridge hosts its first pub quiz evening. Why a pub quiz we hear you ask?  Well, the museum is housed in a grade-II listed 17th century inn and we felt it was time to honour that past with some traditional pub entertainment! 

So, grab your friends, family or colleagues and come and compete for the title of ’Brain of Cambridge’! The top teams will also win some great prizes kindly donated by local Cambridgeshire businesses, including:

• A £50 voucher for Tradizioni
• A £35 voucher for My Persian Kitchen
• Some juice from Cambridge Juice Company
• Tickets for The Cambridge Museum of Technology

Tickets cost £15 per person and this includes one free drink (kindly provided by local brewery, Bishop Nick Brewery) as well as free entry to the museum on the night (this may or may not give you a sneaky advantage on the night should some related questions come up…..wink wink). 

Due to space, there is a maximum number of 5 people per team. Our booking form will ask those booking two tickets or less if they are happy to be teamed up with other people. This is entirely optional, just let us know on the form.

Tickets are limited so book now to secure your place!

All proceeds will go towards the continued running of the Museum and the conservation of its objects, helping us to keep the Museum open and preserve the stories of Cambridge and its people. 

More information can be found in our FAQs below.
