TALES FROM THE BOOT & SHOE

Quiz Night in Rossendale:

A £999 Rollover Jackpot is Up for Grabs at the Boot & Shoe

Waterfoot, Rossendale, Lancashire

Picture it: it's a Wednesday night, you're sat round a table with your favourite people, the pens are out, the drinks are in, and the question on the table is “which of you actually paid attention in geography?”. That, in a nutshell, is quiz night at The Boot & Shoe — and tonight, there's a £999 jackpot waiting to be won.


Why this quiz night is a bit special

We run our quiz every other week, and our jackpot rolls over every time it's not won. That's been happening for a while now, which means tonight's pot has swelled to a pretty eye-watering £999. Someone could very genuinely walk out of here a lot richer than they walked in.


Will it be your team? Honestly — it could be. That's the magic of quiz night. You don't need to be a Mastermind champion. You just need a decent mix of people, a willingness to argue passionately about the year a song came out, and a bit of luck.


What to expect on quiz night

  • A proper mix of rounds — general knowledge, picture, music, the lot
  • A friendly, no-pressure vibe — beginners absolutely welcome
  • A growing jackpot that could be life-changing (or at least weekend-changing)
  • Great drinks, great food, great atmosphere


How it works

Round up your team (or come on your own and join one — we'll sort you out), grab yourselves a table, and we'll do the rest. Get a question right, you bank a point. Get the most points and answer the jackpot question correctly, and that £999 is going home with you.


Don't worry if you're new to it — our quizzes are designed to be fun first, competitive second. We've had everyone from quiz night veterans to total first-timers walk away winning.


Top tips for tonight

  • Get here early — tables go quickly when there's a rolling jackpot
  • Keep your team small but mighty — Six is the maximum per team - four or five is the sweet spot
  • Bring a mix of ages — the music round won't always favour the youngest in the group
  • Don't overthink it — first instincts are usually right


Whether you walk away £999 better off or just walk away with a great Wednesday night under your belt, you'll be glad you came.



See you at the quiz.
