Fancy winning FREE entry to our Fright Night on Friday 30th October?!

If you're an aficionado of all things 80s, this one's for you! Head to The Peryton's 80s Quiz this Sunday (18th October), put those grey cells to work, and you and your team could win free tickets to our frightfully fun Fright Night!

And if that gets you in the spooky spirit, you can keep the horror-themed quizzing going at The Peryton's Halloween Pub Quiz on 1st November.

Although, we're not entirely sure what the 80s have to do with history... they were only 20 years ago, weren't they?!
