Peterborough Lions Club — serving our community since 1970

We’re delighted to welcome you to our refreshed website.

Peterborough Lions Club has served our community since 1970, and our previous website carried 15 years of news and fundraising.

As more people visit us on a phone, and as our projects have grown, it was time for something clearer, faster, and easier to use — without losing the stories and history you’ve come to know.

We’re extremely excited to confirm that Showtime returns for 2026!

Last year was its first year back after the pandemic but it was a great success and we’re overjoyed to be running it again this year. Westwood Musical Players will again be putting on a fantastic show at Parkway Sports & Social, this year on May 19th (Tue) & 20th (Wed).

As always this event, exclusively for over 65’s and the disabled (and their carers), is provided completely free of charge.

Find out more, and book your free tickets, here!

If you like quizzes, why not join us for our Sue Ryder Quiz Night, on Friday 17th April 2026?

To be hosted at Broadway Club (previously known as the Conservative Club) we have capacity for 12 teams of 4-6. If you can’t make up a team don’t worry, we’ll group people as needed to make sure nobody is stranded - come and make new friends!

It’s £12 per person, which includes a light buffet (let us know of any dietary requirements when you book).

All proceeds to Sue Ryder hospice care. Find out more and book your tickets here…

It’s taken a while to mark hundreds of returned quizzes but it’s done, they’ve been double checked, the list of alternative answers compiled and the winners drawn!

We’ve had some lovely positive feedback for this quiz (and nothing negative so far, but don’t hold back!). It would appear that - much like 2020’s “Sweet Tooth” - we found a topic with wide interest!

The draw for our cash prize winners, and mug-winning runners-up, took place on Sunday 8th March, and our winners were (well done to all of you!):

• L Madden (1st, winning £200, Hemel Hempstead)
• H Catling (2nd, winning £100, Peterborough)
• D Blackwell (3rd, winning £50, Ely)
• Runners-up:
  • J Redmond (Peterborough)
  • J Harkness (Peterborough)
  • J Baker (Chesterfield)
  • M Westwood (Ross-on-Wye)
  • A Ridge (Enfield)
  • R Hill (Ireland)
  • E O’Boyle (Castor)

If you’re in that list then your prizes are on their way to you. And if you’re not - well we are really grateful for your support, with close to £5000 raised so far with funds still coming in.

If you sent us an SAE for answers those will be going out over the coming days. If you didn’t, or can’t wait for Royal Mail, you can download the answers below.

Once again, thank you for supporting our annual quiz sheets. Pre-orders for the 2026/7 quiz are available in our shop along with past issues (including Sweet Tooth, which a lot of people missed due to 2020 being, well, 2020!). Work is already underway on that next issue ahead of its September release so we’ll see you then!

Thank you to everyone who bought copies of our 2025/26 “All Day Breakfast” quiz! Entries for the prize competition have now closed and the long process of marking all the entries has begun.

If you missed the quiz, this and plenty of others are still available to buy in our shop but you’ll have to wait until our next quiz, to be released (as always) on 1st September, if you want a chance of winning a cash prize. (If you don’t want to risk missing out you can pre-order the quiz now.)

Marking will take a while - not only do we have hundreds of quiz sheets to work through, but as always the official answer sheet will take into account any perfectly valid alternative answers that you found that we hadn’t thought of. The prize draw will happen in March, and the answer sheet (which includes details of the winners) made available as soon as possible after that.

It’s that time of year again, when Father Christmas leaves his elves working hard in the toy workshops and gives up some of his time to visit Peterborough, in support of (and supported by) Peterborough Lions Club.

• See where he’ll be, including route maps, here (see poster for a summary)
• On the night of one of his tours, you can track where Santa is here
• If you missed us - or had no loose change when you saw us - you can make a donation here if you want

Yes, it’s finally here – the new Peterborough Lions Club Quiz is now available to buy!

This year’s theme is “All Day Breakfast”, with 100 questions where every answer has some connection to everyone’s favourite meal of the day.

As always, there are cash prizes to be won, with a new top prize of £200! Entries close on Saturday 10th January 2026, so you have plenty of time to get your sheet and crack those clues!

The quiz is available to buy online now for just £2 (plus postage) at: our shop.

We will also be sending stock out to our local stockists over the coming days and weeks.

As always, all money raised goes directly to supporting local projects and good causes within the Peterborough community. If you would like to help us raise money or have a good cause of your own that you’d like to fundraise for, we can support you by supplying quiz sheets to sell on a 50:50 basis. Please get in touch with us to find out more.

We’re extremely excited to announce the return of Showtime!

After the pandemic forced a pause it’s take a little while to get things back up and running, but we’re back with Westwood Musical Players to put on a fantastic show at Parkway Sports & Social on May 14th & 15th 2025.

As always this event, exclusively for over 65’s and the disabled (and their carers), is provided completely free of charge.

How did you get on this year?

Thank you to everyone who supported the quiz, whether by selling it for us (or for another group on a 50:50 basis) or by putting your hands in your pockets to pay for one. This is a major fundraiser for us and we’re extremely grateful for your continued support.

You can now place a pre-order for the 2025/26 quiz in our store - where you can also buy past copies of the quiz to tide you over until September.

September is here, and that can only mean one thing!

Yes, our annual quiz sheet is now on sale. Titled “All At Sixes And Sevens”, it brings you the usual 100 questions, this time across a range of subjects but with all the answers comprising only words of 6 or 7 letters in length.

It remains at £2, and you have the chance to win up to £200 in cash or one of our wonderful, limited edition runners-up mugs. But of course that’s just secondary to hours of brain challenging fun and your chance to help us with one of our main fundraisers of the year!

You can buy online in our shop (where you can also obtain any past issues you may have missed), or from one of several local stockists (the list will be updated as we get the stock out to them). If you’d like to help us sell them please get in touch, we’ll be eternally grateful and you’ll be increasing the amount of good work in and around Peterborough that your local Lions club can achieve!
