Bongo’s Bingo Country and 00s Events in Sheffield This Summer
Bingo fans in Sheffield are in for a treat this summer as Bongo’s Bingo comes to town with a run of shows, some of which will have special themes, such as Country and 00s Specials.
The Bongo’s Bingo events are taking place at the Octagon on Clarkson Street near the city centre. One is scheduled each month for July, August and September.
Speaking about the events, a Bongo’s Bingo spokesperson said:
“There are two Country Specials and the return of all things Shania Twain, Luke Combs, Dolly Parton, Chris Stapleton and loads of other country stars on Friday, July 27 and Saturday, September 14. And between these get ready for a wild 00s Special on Saturday, August 31.”
Jonny Bongo, the co-founder of Bongo’s Bingo, explained why the events are perfect for the notoriously unreliable British summer:
“We’ve got a run of summer shows across the UK in all of our favourite locations, including The Octagon in Sheffield with three themed shows. Summer is of course usually the time for sunshine, but as we all well know with the climate here it can change fast. So our run of summer shows are perfect for anyone and their crew wanting to have some indoors fun too.”
Bongo’s Bingo has been a major part of the bingo renaissance that has taken place across the UK over the last decade or so. Approaching its tenth anniversary, the company aims to “rejuvenate” the “quintessentially quaint game of bingo for a new generation” and there is no doubting their success.
Taking place on July 27, August 31, and September 14, doors for the events will open at 6 pm and close at 7:30 pm, with the fun starting at 8 pm.
Bingo Raves with an Added Twist
Bongo’s Bingo events are always high-energy affairs bringing together the game with dance-offs, rave intervals, singalongs, audience participation, and insane prizes, including giant pink unicorns, Henry hoovers, mobility scooters, karaoke machines, and more.
When the events have a special theme, then the mayhem is only intensified. Those planning on going to one of the two Country specials in Sheffield (July 27 and September 14) are encouraged to arrive in fancy dress for the chance to win special prizes.
The 00s event is taking place on August 31 and it promises “Floppy discs, flip phones and f*cking good tunes!”. The event descriptions calls for fancy dress, ranging from The Teletubbies to Kylie, for what is sure to be a nostalgia-filled evening.
Whether you are interested in the themed events or just the regular Bongo’s Bingo night, tickets are only £16, and it promises to be a night that you will never forget.
