Test your general knowledge at the best quiz nights in Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs - Author: Strange Tourist - Tags: Local guides, Things to do in Broadstairs, Things to do in Margate, Things to do in Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Bars and pubs, Margate, Quizzes, Ramsgate, Thanet, Things to do in Thanet and beyond With the weather in Thanet turning grey and crisp, many quiz hosts are awaking from their summer slumber. They're penning new questions, thinking up new bonus rounds, and lining up prizes. Thanet is rammed pub quizzes during autumn, winter and grey first months of the new year, with nights designed to test whatever your strongest area of general knowledge is. Music? Yes. Pop culture? Yes. The names of Thanet villages? Sure. Your ability to turn a teammate into an animal using only newspaper, bin bags and silver foil? Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate has got you. So, put your phone away, grab a beer and sit down. Here are our picks of the best pub quizzes in Thanet. ### Mr Teds Quiz, Broadstairs, Ramsgate & Margate Raucous and silly, Mr Ted's quiz nights are always a huge amount of fun. As well as your standard quiz questions, music and picture rounds, you’ll also find yourself doing life drawing and costume making. There are catchphrases to learn, a prosthetic vagina and probably some ventriloquism too. Shots will be liberally handed out to teams who impress Mr Teds on the way, and the winners take away (or immediately consume) a bottle of prosecco. Such is the popularity of these nights that Mr Teds tours around the country each month (including August), with dates in all three Thanet towns. During the second week of each month, you’ll find him at the **Honeysuckle Inn in Ramsgate,** **Margate Beach Club** and **Neptunes Hall in Broadstairs**. Starts at 8pm, [DM to book a table](https://www.instagram.com/mr.tedswalker/?ref=strangetourist.co.uk). ### The Xylo quiz, Margate Xylo’s Ultimate Quiz may have a bold title, especially in a town with a thriving pub quiz scene, but they really do pull it off. If you’re a music fan, this one is for you. It’ll test your knowledge of song lyrics and observation skills while watching a music video. Don’t just arrive with a load of music nerds in tow though, because there are also rounds going deep into local Thanet knowledge and beer. This one takes place at 8pm on the second last Thursday of the month from September to May. Entry is £3 per person, with the winning team taking all the money. Email [bookings@xylobrew.com](mailto:bookings@xylobrew.com) or book at the [bar](https://www.instagram.com/xylobrew/?ref=strangetourist.co.uk). ### Andy Mack's Live Music Quiz at Queen's Head, Ramsgate "The" Andy Mack's Live Music Quiz tours all over Kent and can be found in Thanet at the Queen's Head pub. Not your standard quiz, this one comes with digital keypads and multiple choice questions. It also has merch and loyalty cards, because people do keep coming back. Musician Andy keeps everything rolling with over the top flair. It should run the second Thursday of the month, but double check the socials to make sure. Entry is £5 per person, which gets you some nibbles as well as your seat. The pub also serves curries to those seeking more brain fuel.

Hosted by Linguist Laura, it tests what you have stored in the back of your brain with some tricky questions, and also has a round of Play Your Cards Right for a cash prize. There are a range of other prizes too, including “crisp tapas” for your team. Takes place every last Tuesday of the month from September to May, with an entry fee of £2.50 per person.

Teams are of up to six people and things kick off at 7pm. It's £2 to play and [DM the venue to book](https://www.instagram.com/theroyalalbionhotel/?ref=strangetourist.co.uk). It's on the first Tuesday of the month, but check socials for frequency. ### Churchill Tavern's quiz, Ramsgate Always a sell out, this quiz is known for being a lot of fun but very difficult. The winning team gets the glory, but not necessarily the cash prize. In order to keep things interesting, the team name that’s pulled out of a hat at the end of the night gets the money. There are other spot cash prizes through the night. This is another weekly one, taking place every Monday. Entry is £2 cash per person. Starts at 8pm but turn up early to ensure you get a table. ### The Pub Quiz at George & Heart, Margate The George & Heart’s doesn't quite run monthly, so it's worth keeping an eye on the pub's website. There will be trivia, of course, but your brain will also be tested with various weird games where you can win bonus prizes. If that’s all too much for you, you can just admire host Owain’s lovely, sparkly gold jacket. Currently there are two quiz nights booked in - an autumn edition on Wednesday, October 28 and a Christmas special on Wednesday, December 16\. It costs £2 per person to enter. [Check the George & Heart website for other dates](https://www.georgeandheart.com/whats-on?ref=strangetourist.co.uk). Starts at 7pm.

It’s all music all the time. Think you know music? Well, here’s where you’re going to find out. This one happens on the last Thursday of the month all year, starting at 7.30pm. Entry is £2 per person.
