A MAMMOTH quiz is to be held with the goal of raising a huge amount of cash for a cancer charity.

The event, which is now in its seventh year, is a nationwide quiz held on the same day, at the same time, throughout the country. It holds the Guinness World Record for the largest simultaneous quiz.

Macmillan Cancer Support are now looking for local groups and businesses from across the UK to be part of the event and host a quiz on February 27.

To register for a quiz pack, log on to macmillanmammothquiz.co.uk or email mammoth.quiz.uk@gmail.com. It costs £10 to host a quiz.
