Join Online Charity Quizzes Hosted by Stephen Fry and Jo Brand
Join the fun in May and help raise funds for Riverside Studios and Imperial Health Charity
Hammersmith's Riverside Studios are hosting two family friendly online Charity Quiz Nights during May.
Stephen Fry will be the host on Wednesday 13 May and comedian Jo Brand on Wednesday 27 May.
The is the first in a series of quizzes raising money to help ensure the arts centre will be able to reopen its doors after the unprecedented effects of COVID-19.
The quizzes with their celebrity guests also aim to help bring people together in times of isolation for a fun night in.
The quizzes will run from 6.30pm till 7.30pm with the room open from 6pm to allow entrants to get set up.
Tickets, priced from £25 for a household can be bought here.
Here's how it works:
QI and Blackadder producer John Lloyd will be the mastermind behind the questions. There will be 6 rounds, each containing 5 questions each, and participants will have the chance to win a range of fun ‘isolation-friendly' prizes for the top 5 winners kindly donated by Sam's Riverside, the film subscription service MUBI, and Mindful Chef as well as Riverside Studios vouchers for when we reopen.
Raising money to help ensure the charity arts centre, Riverside Studios, will be able to reopen its doors after the unprecedented effects of COVID-19, the fundraising quiz nights will help bring people together in times of isolation for a fun night in.
10% of all proceeds will be going to Riverside Studio’s l
local NHS charity supporting five hospitals around Hammersmith, the Imperial Health Charity, at this very difficult time.
How it will work:
* After purchasing a ticket you will receive an email with a personalised link to join the quiz, using Zoom. You don't need to sign up to Zoom, but it would be helpful if you downloaded the Zoom app ahead of time.
* The quiz room will be open 30 minutes before the start. When you join the room you will be given instructions on how to access the web-based answer sheet. These instructions will also be emailed to you 30 minutes before the quiz starts. It will be easiest if you access the web page on a second device (such as your phone, a tablet or another computer) but you can also access it on the same computer that is running Zoom.
Riverside Studios are also running Virtual Riverside, a programme of free online films, discussions and online events. Find out more here.
