A well-known Chester blogger is preparing to stage his second charity quiz of 2026, following the success of a previous event in January that raised a significant sum for two local charities.
Quiz Night Details
Blogger and quizmaster Richard Trotter will host the charity quiz at Chester Market on Sunday, May 10, starting at 5:30pm, with all proceeds going to the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. Richard's previous quiz in January saw a record number of teams participate and raised an impressive £1,300 for the Lord Mayor of Chester's charities: Chester Women's Aid and Upton-based Youth Club The Heath.
About Richard Trotter
Best known for his legendary Twitter account Sh•t Chester and website The Chester Blog, which actively promotes and raises the profile of the city, its local businesses, and cultural events, Richard also built and continues to curate the highly popular and ever-evolving 'Chester in Lego' exhibit at Chester Market.
Evening Programme
The fundraising event will commence at 5:30pm with music from Stephen Lockhart ahead of the quiz, which will begin at 6:30pm. Medieval doctor Godfrey Garland (historical re-enactor Mike Graham) will be on call, and there will be interval entertainment from Poise Dance Studio. Entry to the quiz is £3 per person, with all proceeds going to the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. Quizzers are encouraged to arrive early to secure a seat, given the record number of attendees at the previous quiz.
Raffle and Prizes
The evening will also include a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses including Bar Lounge, Bookingham Palace, Thingummys, Acorn Counselling, Chester Food Tours, Lux Nails, Cheshire Home Store, Kate Smallwood Ceramics, Chester BID, Soul Space Chester, Pasty Pedaleur, and Tanners Wine Merchants.
Charity Spokesperson Comments
Speaking about the quiz, a spokesperson from Clatterbridge Cancer Charity said: "It's fantastic to see our supporters getting creative and bringing people together in support of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. This quiz night at Chester Market is a brilliant example of how a fun evening can make a meaningful difference. We're so grateful to Richard and Chester Market for this opportunity to raise funds and awareness; it truly helps us continue supporting local patients with cancer and their families when they need it most."
