CHESTER BLOGGER GETS QUIZICAL FOR CLATTERBRIDGE CHARITY EVENT AT CHESTER MARKET

A well-known Chester blogger is preparing to stage his second charity quiz of 2026, following on from the success of a previous event in January this year which raised an impressive sum for two local charities.

Blogger and Quizmaster Richard Trotter will host the charity quiz at Chester Market on Sunday 10^th May from 5.30pm with all proceeds going to the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity.

Richard's previous quiz in January saw a record number of teams take part and raised an impressive £1300.00 for the Lord Mayor of Chester's charities Chester Women's Aid and Upton based Youth Club The Heath. 

Best known for his legendary Twitter account Sh*t Chester and website The Chester Blog, which actively promotes and raises the profile of the City, its local businesses and cultural events, Richard also built and continues to curate the highly popular and ever-evolving 'Chester in Lego' exhibit at Chester Market. 

The fundraising event which commences at 5.30pm will include music from Stephen Lockhart ahead of the quiz which will begin at 6.30pm. Medieval doctor Godfrey Garland (historical re-enactor Mike Graham) will be on call and there will be interval entertainment from Poise Dance Studio.

Entry to the quiz is £3 per person with all proceeds going to the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. Quizzers are encouraged to arrive early to secure a seat, given the record number of attendees at the previous quiz. 

The evening will also include a Raffle with prizes donated by local businesses including Bar Lounge, Bookingham Palace, Thingummys, Acorn Counselling, Chester Food Tours, Lux Nails, Cheshire Home Store, Kate Smallwood Ceramics. Chester BID, Soul Space Chester, Pasty Pedaleur and Tanners Wine Merchants. 

Speaking about the quiz, a spokesperson from the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity said:

"It’s fantastic to see our supporters getting creative and bringing people together in support of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. This quiz night at Chester Market is a brilliant example of how a fun evening can make a meaningful difference. We’re so grateful to Richard and Chester Market for this opportunity to raise funds and awareness; it truly helps us continue supporting local patients with cancer and their families when they need it most.”
