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. Each Bongo’s Bingo show features riotous fun, amazing music, crazy prizes, en masse Karaoke, rave rounds, dance-offs, the odd pink unicorn and Henry Hoover and of course plenty of bingo as part of the UK’s most bonkers, surreal and energetic night, all rolled into one glorious party.

Jonny Bongo, Bongo’s Bingo’s co-founder and original host, explains: “We’ve got lots of new destinations for Bongo’s Bingo on our radar and Purfleet is the first of this latest batch.

"We can’t wait to bring the magic and mayhem there this Christmas with Bingo All The Way and I’ve got a sneaking suspicion it’s going to go off big time. We love bringing Bongo’s Bingo to new locations and this one is going to be absolutely class.”

Tickets for the forthcoming debut on Saturday, December 21 in Purfleet are on sale. Click here for more information.
