On Saturday, 5th December, Radstock Museum launches its Winter Quiz. This year, you can enjoy taking part from the comfort of your own home and in your own time.

Funds raised will go to improving displays at the museum. Cash prizes for first, second and third place, along with runner-up prizes have been generously donated by Radstock Museum’s community partners, Thatcher and Hallam Solicitors.

There are a mix of questions from general knowledge – not all of which are easy to find answers on the internet! Plus, some trickier rounds on local history and local knowledge and some mystery old local photo questions to challenge you; the museum’s online archive on the website might help with some of these.

Quiz sheets are available in three ways: By email, go to: radstockmuseum.co.uk and follow “Winter Quiz” instructions and online payment. By buying paper copies using card or cheque at the museum shop on 5th, 12th and 19th December between 11 am - 5 pm when the shop is open for Christmas shopping. By post to receive a paper copy by sending a cheque payable to ‘Radstock Museum’ to, “Winter Quiz, 1 Gordon Buildings, Radstock. BA3 3HR” with your name and address. PLEASE do not send cheques to the museum itself. PLEASE obtain your quiz sheets by 19th December.

The closing date for entries to be received by email or post is 18th January with the answers published on the museum website and Facebook page on 21st January, 2021. Postal entries must be to be sent to: “Winter Quiz”, Radstock Museum, Waterloo Road, Radstock. BA3 3EP”.

Winners will be contacted by the end of January. All the details, including how much it costs to enter and quiz rules are at www.radstockmuseum.co.uk and on the museum’s Facebook page. With the Christmas holidays and everyone at home due to Covid, we hope that the quiz brings you some enjoyment over the next few weeks. The museum volunteers would like to thank the community for its support and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, A Happy New Year and we hope to see you in 2021.
