Bumper Table Quiz 2026 at Royal Marine Hotel

The Dún Laoghaire Tidy Towns and Dún Laoghaire Rotary Club have been running this quiz for years, and it’s become one of those local fundraising events that’s genuinely worth the trip if you’re in the area. The Royal Marine Hotel is one of the better quiz venues in south Dublin - the room is the right size, the staff know what they’re doing, and a charity quiz in a hotel like this tends to attract a crowd that takes the questions seriously without taking itself too seriously.

A table quiz in Dún Laoghaire on a Wednesday night is its own thing. You’ll likely recognise a few faces, compete against tables of people who clearly prepare for these evenings, and come home either delighted or arguing about that one sports question.

What to Expect

A classic table quiz format: rounds of questions across general knowledge, current events, sport, music, and whatever the quizmasters feel like throwing at you. Expect round prizes, a spot prize or two, and a final total that goes to a good cause.

The Royal Marine Hotel on Marine Road is a Dún Laoghaire landmark. The quiz room has proper seating and bar service, which means you’re comfortable for the duration rather than standing with a pint. Tables are typically of four to six people - you can register as a full team or join one on the night.
