Create Leicester and 1284 will be hosting their second inter-agency Christmas quiz - bringing together leading agencies to raise funds for two local charities.

The event, which will take place on Thursday December 18 at LCB Depot, will see a group of agencies come together to raise money for CharityLink and Pedestrian.

Last year, more than £1,100 was collected for the charities through a combination of ticket sales and donations at the sold-out event.

1284 Communications was joined by some of Leicester's brightest agencies - including Digital Planning, Bulb Studios, Herdl, Cite, and Effect Digital - as the group put their knowledge to the test in a general knowledge themed quiz.

This year’s quiz will take the following format: 

• 5.30-6pm - Arrive for drinks in your finest festive attire
• 6pm-6.30pm - Festive nibbles from Gray's
• 6.30pm-8.30pm - The Quiz
• 8.30pm-9pm - Winners prize and festive banter

The quiz aims to bring out friendly, local rivalry while strengthening inter-agency relationships within Leicester's creative sector.

1284 Communications Managing Director, George Oliver, said: "As Chair of Charity Link, I am really looking forward to holding this event again.

“Last year, the incredible support from the Create Leicester network meant our tables sold out before we even launched tickets, so this year we’ve moved to a larger venue to welcome even more people. 

“It’s inspiring to see Leicester’s agencies uniting for two local charities that deliver such vital work within our community.”

Jim Willis, Co-founder of Create Leicester, said: “We’re already getting into the festive spirit by organising this year’s Create Leicester Christmas quiz. 

“We’re hoping to build on last year’s success and see even more of  Leicester’s creative community get on board and help us raise much-needed funds for two fantastic local charities.”

A table for a team of six costs £160. To book a table email Jim Willis at jim@bulbstudios.com.
