The advice is to not play board games this Christmas in order to limit the spread of coronavirus, so we thought we would put together a quiz to entertain you on Christmas Day!
Test your knowledge and history of our wonderful town and compete against friends and family over Zoom.
There are no prizes, just the fun of doing the quiz, and answers will be published on Bridport Nub News on Sunday, December 27.
