The Book Lover's Quiz Night

A literary quiz night at The Old Woollen in Leeds, hosted by Gary Wigglesworth, author of The Book Lover's Quiz Book. It is part of Farsley Lit Fest and runs on a quiz-book format.

The Book Lover's Quiz Night is a literary quiz hosted by Gary Wigglesworth, author of The Book Lover's Quiz Book. Rather than general knowledge rounds, the questions follow the structure of Gary's quiz books: multiple-choice questions, amusing answer options, deliberate red herrings and little-known facts about authors. A picture round called Say What You See is also included.

Teams can be of any size, but every team member must hold an individual ticket. The quizmaster's stated aim is for everyone to have fun and to make the best guess they can when they do not know an answer, so the format rewards both reading knowledge and careful reasoning.

The Old Woollen hosts concerts and shows in Leeds. The quiz suits groups of friends and literature fans who enjoy testing their reading knowledge together, and it is staged as a Farsley Lit Fest event.
