Cheesy Bingo Party

The Cheesy Bingo Party comes to Salisbury Arts Centre on Saturday 19 December, starting at 7:30pm. It's not a quiet night in the community hall; they're pitching it as a night to dance, sing, laugh and drink, and it's for over-18s.

The format mixes a standard bingo draw with music, sing-alongs and ridiculous prizes. While the host calls out the numbers, a DJ spins a selection of the cheesiest party tunes, with S Club, Vengaboys, Michael Jackson and Wham among the acts they'll be drawing from. It's tagged as a nostalgia night, so the music leans into the kind of pop you probably know by heart rather than anything you'd discover on the radio today.

There's a promise that someone will leave with a giant inflatable unicorn, though they've added a caveat that the unicorn might be replaced by other giant inflatable animals. Between the numbers and the sing-alongs, the prizes are part of the draw, and the whole thing is built around the music as much as the bingo itself.

It's on Saturday 19 December at Salisbury Arts Centre, starting at 7:30pm. It's an over-18s night, so keep that in mind if you're planning a group.
