On Friday, 17th October, the Salisbury Arts Centre buzzed with excitement as local businesses gathered for the annual Corporate Gala Quiz, hosted by Salisbury Hospice Charity.

Sponsored by Trethowans Solicitors in association with Salisbury Radio, the evening was a vibrant celebration of community and corporate support, raising an impressive £6,883 to fund vital hospice services.

The evening's quizmaster Salisbury Radio's Andy Munns guided participants through eight engaging rounds, spanning Film & TV, sport, general knowledge, and a unique music round, keeping teams on their toes.

Guests also enjoyed a delicious fish and chip supper from Britz Fish & Chips, alongside a raffle and auction filled with lots of donated prizes from local businesses.

Louise Compton, Corporate Fundraiser at Salisbury Hospice Charity, said: "This year’s Corporate Gala Quiz was another fantastic success, and it was wonderful to see so many local businesses come together in support of Salisbury Hospice.

"The generosity, enthusiasm, and community spirit on display made the evening truly special. We’re so grateful to everyone who took part and helped raise vital funds. I’d encourage businesses to book early to join us for next year’s Corporate Gala Quiz on Friday 20th November.

"A huge thank you to our sponsors, quiz round sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who donated prizes. Your support makes a real difference!"
