Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun

Bongo's Bingo is back at Circuit in Southampton for its Halloween run, with a show on Saturday 10 October. It's part of the brand's usual October return to the venue, and this year's run is titled Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun.

If you've never been, the format is a bit different from your typical bingo night. It's built around the brand's signature immersive entertainment, with rave rounds and dance-offs thrown in between the numbers. There's a strong costume code for the crowd, so it's the kind of night where you're expected to turn up dressed up rather than just in your usual Saturday night gear.

Co-founder Jonny Bongo says Halloween is one of the brand's favourite themes to work with, and describes the UK nights as packing relentless bingo energy alongside spine-tingling terror. That's a fair summary of how these things usually go: the bingo is the thread that holds it together, but the rave rounds and the dance-offs are where the night really opens up. The costume code is a big part of that too, with the crowd as much a part of the show as what's happening on stage.

It's a Halloween-themed run, so the 10 October date is one of several. If you're planning on going, keep the costume code in mind—it's a good excuse to go all out. The show is at Circuit in Southampton, and the date is Saturday 10 October.
