It's battle of the brainiacs this Friday at the KM Big Charity Quiz.

The clash of the quiz titans is taking place at Maidstone Leisure Centre on Friday June 20 from 7pm. Funds raised will go towards the SECAMB Community First Responders as well as the Maidstone Girls’ Grammar School PFA, and the children’s road safety work of the KM Charity Team.

Event organiser Dominic Comins, of the KM Charity Team, said: “Prizes up for grabs include a Pop Star Party, worth £265, for up to 12 adults or children at a professional recording studio in Kent. There are also prizes from Hornby plus the chance to win £250 in cash.”

He added: “This event is a highlight of the quiz calendar with many teams coming back each year to take part. I can’t wait to find out who will take the quiz crown."

Each quiz-goer will receive a free drink on arrival, plus a ploughman’s meal and there will be a fully stocked charity bar supplied by Shepherd Neame.
