🎃 WHAT A NIGHT AT THE TURKS! 👻

Well, that was a Halloween quiz to remember!

14 teams, a pub full of spooky decorations, some questionable answers and a LOT of laughs!

From counting bats to secret missions, and even an unexpected performance of the Time Warp, you lot certainly embraced the madness! 😂

We also raised another £57 for Macmillan Cancer Support with our Halloween tombola! 💚

A massive thank you to everyone who came along, dressed up, joined in and made the night so much fun. We couldn’t do these nights without you!

And a special thank you to our team for helping bring all the Halloween chaos together. ❤️

Same time next year? 🎃👻
