Soul Bingo

Soul Bingo comes to Rumble Rooms on Saturday 21 November, brought to Milton Keynes by the creators of Soul Supper. It's a night built around soul, Motown and classic hits from the 70s and 80s, and the format is exactly what it says on the tin: a game of bingo played to a soulful soundtrack, with real live music running alongside it and prizes on the line.

The music leans on the big names of the era, with Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan, Anita Baker and Whitney Houston among those on the playlist. It's a mix of soul, Motown and those 70s and 80s hits that most people know by heart, so the bingo part is as much about the songs as it is about the numbers. The whole thing is strictly over-18s.

If you're heading there for a birthday, there's a bit extra in it for you: if your birthday falls in the same calendar month as the night, or within seven days of it, you'll get a discount on the door and a free cake and sparkler. It's a nice touch if you're gathering a group for a celebration.

On the practical side, Rumble Rooms is at 12th Street, Savoy Crescent, MK9 3PU. The venue is wheelchair accessible, though the room sits on the top floor and is reached via the rooftop with a few flights of stairs, so it's worth keeping in mind. Doors open at 19:00, the bingo starts at 20:00, and the night runs for about three hours. Tickets are £21.47.
