“We’ve got two November shows coming up to lift the roof up in Swindon for a healthy dose of magic and mayhem at Bongo’s Bingo.”

A spokesperson explained: “What started as a random idea between two friends in Liverpool in 2015 is now the definitive and original competitive socialising event, with millions of tickets sold.

“It’s rejuvenated the quintessentially quaint game of bingo for a new generation, with sold-out shows taking place in over 40 locations and approaching its 10th anniversary in April 2025.”

Two December specials will have a festive theme with “Christmas bangers and prizes to see out the year”.

Tickets for MECA for Friday, November 8 and Friday, November 22 and Bingo All The Way Christmas specials on Saturday, December 21 and Saturday, December 28 are here: www.bongosbingo.co.uk

Prices range from £11 to £15.
