Bongo's Bingo is returning to Shrewsbury to kickstart 2025 with a run of shows at the Buttermarket in the coming months, including an '80s special and St. Patrick’s special, following a sold-out Christmas season.
Bongo's Bingo said the forthcoming winter events promise a thrilling mix of traditional bingo blended with raucous rave rounds, audience participation and iconic prizes as it kickstarts its 10th anniversary year.
A spokesman for Bongo's Bingo said: "It’s safe to expect quite possibly anything and everything at the UK’s original bingo-rave phenomenon, from giant pink unicorns and Henry hoovers to dance-offs, en-masse karaoke and the odd false call or two, making each immersive show a unique experience for players.
"Because for newcomers, well, Bongo’s Bingo isn’t the typical bingo night.
"It’s a wildly entertaining journey which has turned the quintessentially traditional pastime inside out, featuring mesmerising onstage performances, crazy antics and countless mad moments which leave everyone wanting more.
"What started as a wild idea a decade ago is now the UK’s defining night out, played by everyone from 18 to 97 years old."
The Buttermarket will host '80s specials on February 8 and 15, followed by a St. Patrick's special on March 15 and a final date on March 29.
Bongo’s Bingo’s founder Jonny Bongo spoke about his excitement about the upcoming shows.
He said: "Now Christmas is done and dusted, we’ve got an incredible run of shows coming up in Shrewsbury.
"The Buttermarket is such an amazing spot as it’s our home in Shrewsbury and the crowds there are always electric.
"Having these dates ready to roll is the perfect way to dive into 2025.
"We can’t wait to make this year unforgettable for everyone, and this is just the start as we celebrate a decade of Bongo’s Bingo in 2025."
Doors to each event open at 5pm, with the show starting at 7pm.
