BRETHERTON LAW CHRISTMAS QUIZ QUESTIONS 2023

Each year we host a Charity Christmas Quiz and this year our chosen charity was British Heart Foundation. British Heart Foundation fund research into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them.

We would like to thank all our guests who made the quiz a lively and enjoyable evening. Most of all we would like to thank them for digging deep into their pockets to help us raise a fantastic £2560.

Our guests may have been generous but we did not share the same generosity with our quiz questions. They were tough!

How would you have done? Answers can be found at the bottom of the page.
