- BY SUSAN NEWTON

PADDY McGuinness has teamed up with a popular chain to find the UK’s smartest pub.

Marston's Big Pub Quiz is to welcome punters at more than 200 pubs across the country to put their general knowledge to the test.

This includes 31 pubs in the North West including The Acorn on Hyndburn Road, Accrington.

The weekly quizzes will take place from May, 1 until May, 22 with one location each week.

The most successful pubs will win up to £1,000 from Marston's Charitable Foundation, to donate to a local cause or project, which will be presented in person by Paddy.

From the winning pubs, the top scorer will get their hands on a £50 drinks voucher too.
