The Gold Medal pub in Low Fell, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, will host its final Monday-night quiz on Monday 2 February 2026 at 8:00pm before the long-running event relocates to a nearby venue. For more than a decade the weekly quiz has been a local fixture, bringing teams together for trivia and socialising.
Organisers say the grand finale will include a ‘Snowball’ round with a guaranteed £500 jackpot that must be won on the night. They plan to confirm the quiz’s new location during the event.
The Gold Medal is a Hungry Horse site owned by Greene King. Hungry Horse’s official page for the venue states the pub will close from 2 February 2026; organisers say the relocation follows changes at the venue and wider shifts in evening programming at some branded sites.
A member of The Gold Medal staff said they had enjoyed the lively atmosphere the quiz brought to the start of the week and wished the teams well at their new home.
