Chase star Jenny Ryan hosts surprise pub quiz in Yorkshire

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 14:30 · Archive

Television quizzer Jenny Ryan made a surprise appearance to host a pub quiz at The Castle Inn in the heart of Skipton. The event was part of a special celebration organised by Skipton Building Society, which transformed the community pub into The Skipton Members' Pub for one day.

Ryan took over the microphone to put teams through their paces with a mix of general knowledge, music and local trivia. Members went head-to-head with her in a special quiz round, with questions requiring teams to guess what proportion of people believed they knew or could do certain things.

Questions included how many people knew their exact mortgage rate and what an ISA is, as well as what percentage of Britons thought they were better drivers than average and how many believed they could land a passenger plane in an emergency. Teams with answers closest to the correct figures won points.

The event was held to celebrate building society members following research commissioned by Skipton Building Society. The research found that pubs remain at the heart of local communities for 52 per cent of Britons, with 67 per cent of those saying pubs are important because they bring people together.

Ryan said that pub quizzes 'have a special way of bringing people together, whether you're there to test your knowledge, have a laugh with friends or simply enjoy being part of the local community'. She added that in many towns and villages, 'the local pub remains one of the few places where people of all ages can come together regularly and share experiences'.
