Simpkins Edwards once again brought the community together for an evening of fun and fundraising as the annual Really Big Quiz returned to the Barnstaple Hotel in support of the Mayor of Barnstaple’s chosen charities.
This year’s event raised an impressive £2,100, which will go towards two fantastic local causes:
Man Down, a nonprofit offering peer-led talking groups for men facing mental health challenges.
Barum Boxing Club, which provides a safe, inspiring space for all ages and works closely with the Youth Justice system, local schools, and the Police.
Now in its fifteenth year, the quiz is a much-loved fixture in the local calendar, attracting 20 teams for a night of brain-teasing questions, friendly rivalry, and plenty of laughs. Scumbag University took the top spot for the second year running, with 50 Percent in second place and Polly Peachums Ensemble coming third.
The evening was hosted by Simpkins Edwards Partner James Welton, who heads up the Barnstaple office.
“A huge thank you to all our quiz teams for taking part and donating so generously to the raffle. A special mention to Kit Heath Jewellery for their beautiful necklace donation. Kit sadly passed away in September, and we are particularly appreciative of their support. We’re also grateful to everyone at Simpkins Edwards for their hard work in organising the event and to the fantastic team who supported on the night to make it such a success.”
If you missed out this time, don’t worry - Really Big Quiz will be back next year! The date is already booked – we’ll see you on Wednesday 18th November 2026.
