It wouldn\u2019t be Monty Lit Fest without our annual quiz night with resident quizmaster, Marcus Berkmann.<\/p>

Marcus is well known to Lit Fest regulars as the deviser of fiendish quizzes. We invite both the initiated and first-timers to join us for the chance to pit your wits against him in the glorious surroundings of Montgomery Town Hall.<\/p>

Come with team already formed, or join one on the night. But be prepared for much head-scratching and brain taxing. Who knows: this could be\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0team\u2019s year.\u00a0<\/p>

To help us use the space we have available at the Town Hall to best effect, please buy a table\/team ticket (for up to 8 people) where possible so that we can allocate tables accordingly. Smaller teams might have to share tables or include people who have bought tickets but are not already part of a team.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong>Marcus Berkmann<\/strong>\u00a0is the author of, among other books,\u00a0Berkmann\u2019s Pop Miscellany<\/em>,\u00a0Berkmann\u2019s Cricketing Miscellany<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Still a Bit of Snap in the Celery<\/em>. He is a regular contributor to Private Eye, Saga Magazine and the Daily Mail, where he reviews books. He has written columns for the Independent magazine and The Spectator, TV reviews for the Daily Mail and sports columns for Punch, the Independent on Sunday and the Daily Express. He also writes and produces fiendish quizzes, and is a regular on BBC Radio 4\u2019s Round Britain Quiz.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
