Each venue raised cash for their chosen charity. Bridge 61 raised £450 for the Air Ambulance, through a quiz entrance fee, a raffle and a ‘How Many In The Jar’ game.

The Bridge 61 participation was organised by Hannah Hemington and Sam Matts.

So far with feedback in from around 450 venues, a total of £63,000 has been raised.

The event was organised by national volunteer group PubAid.
