Bongo's Bingo

Bongo's Bingo is taking over The Engine Shed on Thursday 5 November, one of several dates they've got lined up in Lincoln over the next few months. If you've never come across it, it's a bingo night that trades the quiet community hall for a full-blown party: huge singalongs, outrageous prizes, confetti showers and dancefloor anthems that keep the crowd on their feet all night, with plenty of surprises and crowd participation along the way. It's as much a rave as it is a game.

The Lincoln run settles into The Engine Shed, the university's music and entertainment venue run by the Students' Union at Brayford Pool. The schedule includes a daytime show format, where last entry is an hour after doors and the first game of bingo follows on, so it's not always a late one. A ticket also gets you 10% off at The Towers, and snacks are served inside, subject to availability.

If 5 November doesn't work, there are plenty of other dates to choose from. The run starts on 30 October at 7:00 pm, with 6 November at 7:00 pm, 14 November at 6:00 pm, 5 December at 6:00 pm, and 19 December with two options: 12:00 pm and 6:30 pm. It continues into the new year on 15 January 2027 at 7:00 pm, 23 January at 6:00 pm, 20 February at 6:00 pm and 26 February at 7:00 pm. General admission is £25.00 plus a £2.50 booking fee.
