The infamous bingo show putting a unique twist on a traditional game: a wild night of rave intervals, awkward dance offs, big money and ridiculous prizes. Bongo's Bingo is a wild shared social extravaganza and a night of pure nostalgic escapism. Whilst staying true to the original rules, Bongo's immerses you in a wild night out with the chance to win iconic prizes from giant pink unicorns and Henry Hoovers, to mobility scooters and karaoke machines. It’s immersive, inclusive and incredible. Everyone from 18 to 92 plays and parties together. There are no barriers and no limits. Quite simply, there’s nothing else like it.
