OVER 40 Devon businesses will battle it out to win the city’s biggest quiz hosted by Exeter College and chartered accountants Simpkins Edwards this week.

The fifth, annual, Really Big Quiz will see 44 teams putting their knowledge to the test while raising cash for charity.

It will be held on Wednesday, April 30, from 7.30pm, at the city centre’s Corn Exchange.

Local businesses have each paid £60 to enter the competition with all proceeds going to the Lord Mayor’s charity, the Bramble Children’s Ward at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital.

Chris Lorimer, Exeter College’s business and marketing director, said: “The Really Big Quiz has been hugely successful over the past few years. It supports a worthy cause and is a great night of fun.”

The Really Big Quiz has now raised in excess of £15,000 over four years for the Lord Mayor’s Charity.

Marie York, marketing manager for Simpkins Edwards, said: “The Really Big Quiz is a really fun way to raise money for the Lord Mayor’s charity. Our teams always enter into the spirit of the evening with some good natured competition and we’re looking forward to another great event.”
