This year’s chosen charity, to be announced.
Cakes, light refreshments, teas, and coffees will be on sale and there will be other attractions such as face painting and the children’s quiz trail.
The Harwich Society runs a monthly quiz night on the 1st Monday of each month. The quiz begins at 8PM and is £2 per head with up to 8 in a team.
These quiz nights are run to raise funds for the Harwich Society and are open to anyone. We are always delighted to see new teams or familiar faces who haven’t been able to be with us for a while.
The quizzes take place in the Acorn Suite at the rear of the Royal Oak public house.
The Family Fun Day will be a day of unbeatable entertainment beside the seaside! If you’re not on the Run, come and cheer on the bikers as they cross the finish line, and enjoy everything from live music, to a kid’s zone, and trade stands on Harwich Green.
