Barmy Bingo

Barmy Bingo comes to the Weymouth Pavilion on Friday 18 December, with the night running from 8:00pm to 11:30pm in the Ocean Room. It's presented by The Barmy Army, a live-music act known for high-energy singalong nights, and they've described this one as a hands-in-the-air affair.

The evening mixes crazy games, the best singalong tunes and prizes you don't take home to Gran. The band describes the whole thing as a 'Karen's diner meets Bonkers Bingo' snowflake-free zone where they take no prisoners, so it's less about the quiet concentration of a proper bingo hall and more about the noise and the singing. If you've never been to one of their nights, that's a good place to start: it's as much a party as it is a game, and the music is just as big a part of it as the numbers being called.

One thing to keep in mind is that the show is strictly for over-18s, so it's a night for the adults rather than a family outing. The Ocean Room is right on the Esplanade, and with the session running until half past eleven, it's a good late-night spot for a Friday in December. Tickets are £23.
