A FLINTSHIRE garden centre held a quiz night, raising thousands of pounds for charity.
Hosted by established quizmaster Phil Heard, at The Woodworks Garden Centre in Mold, part of the P&A Group, the money, raised from ticket sales and a raffle, is being donated to Dementia UK, the group's chosen charity for 2023. A total of £2,600 was made from the event.
Fiona Coke, manager of The Woodworks Garden Centre Café said: "We had a great time at the quiz night and having Phil Heard as host made it a really fun evening out.
The Woodworks Garden Centre Café held a quiz night in aid of Dementai UK.
"We're delighted to say that it was a complete sell-out, raising such a significant amount of money for Dementia UK.
"We wanted to say a huge congratulations to the winning team, Billion Dollar Babies, captained by Jessica Howson, and a huge well done to everyone that took part.

Dementia UK has specialist dementia nurses - known as Admiral Nurses - who provide support and develop life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
Admiral Nurses help families manage complex needs - considering the person living with dementia and the people around them - and they can advise other healthcare professionals. They also help people living with dementia to stay independent for longer, and support the people caring for them so they have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days.
