Fuggle and Golding are privileged to announce we will be hosting the launch party and quiz for The Great Northern Quiz Book, the 13th book from Yorkshire quizmaster Jo Varley, with an exclusive ticket-only quiz night at Fuggle & Golding.
Packed with 2,500 questions celebrating everything that makes the North of England great, the book covers history, politics, literature, music, sport, culture and everything in between. From Captain James Cook to Yorkshire puddings, Roman forts to Premier League stadiums and Nora Batty’s hair curlers — there’s a bit of the whole North in here.
And who better to host a great northern quiz than the author himself? One of Ilkley’s own, Jo can usually be found at Ilkley Bowling Club, hosting quizzes around the Wharfe, or keeping wicket for Ilkley Cricket Club.

Includes entry to the quiz and a complimentary pint of l***r or glass of fizz on entry.

There’ll be prizes to be won, plenty of quizzing nonsense to argue about, and a whole evening dedicated to the great beautiful north.

We can’t wait to bring the place to life with a proper night of quizzing, so grab a drink, settle in and get ready to get quizzing!
