Quiz Nights in Blyth
At least three Blyth pubs run regular quiz nights. Here's which night, which pub, and what to expect.
Blyth has a straightforward pub quiz scene — no gimmicks, just good questions, cold pints, and the chance to win something for knowing that the capital of Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou. Here is where to find a quiz night in town.
Wednesday — The South Beach
The South Beach on Fulmar Drive runs a quiz every Wednesday night. This family-friendly pub on the seafront combines the quiz with its usual lively atmosphere — there are big screens for sport, a pool table, and a spacious beer garden for warmer evenings. It is an easy, sociable quiz night with a local crowd.
Sunday — The Seahorse
The Seahorse on Plessey Road hosts a popular Sunday evening quiz. The Seahorse is a well-established Blyth pub and restaurant with a reputation for its carvery and its live entertainment nights. The Sunday quiz draws a regular crowd and is a good way to round off the weekend.
Occasional — Commissioners Quay Inn
The Commissioners Quay Inn on Quay Road has hosted quiz nights as part of its events programme, though these tend to be occasional rather than weekly. The waterfront setting makes it one of the more atmospheric quiz venues in Blyth when it does run. Check the Inn Collection Group's events page or the pub's social media for upcoming dates.
Best for:
Blyth's quiz scene is smaller than in larger towns, so it is always worth checking a pub's social media before heading out. Schedules can change, especially around bank holidays and during the football season.
Tips
Arrive early. The South Beach and the Seahorse both get busy on quiz nights. Get there at least 15 minutes before the start to grab a good table.
Check before you go. A quick look at the pub's Facebook page on the day will confirm whether the quiz is running. Bank holidays and live entertainment can sometimes take priority.
Team size. Most quizzes work best with 4-6 people. Bigger teams dilute the prize; smaller teams leave gaps in your knowledge.
