Desi Bingo: Diwali Edition

Desi Bingo returns to Archive on Friday 6 November, this time as a Diwali edition. It's a night that mixes high-stakes bingo, stand-up comedy and non-stop Desi music, and this particular run is set against the backdrop of Diwali, so the whole thing leans into the festive side of things.

There are a few signature bits to look out for. There's a 'Desi Icon' costume competition, where you're encouraged to turn up dressed as a Desi icon, and a self-serve 'Festive Mithai Station' for sweet treats. A 'Memory Maker' photobooth is also on the night, so there's a bit more to it than just the bingo. Behind the decks, West Yorkshire's own DJ Saiqa mixes classic Bhangra and Bollywood with R&B and dancehall, keeping the music going throughout.

Archive on Kirkstall Road is a coffee house, bar and event space, and the night is strictly 18+. It runs from 7pm to 10pm, with doors opening at 6pm, so you've got an hour to get in and settled before it kicks off. Tickets are £25 plus booking fee, and there's 10% off for groups of four or more.
