Eyes down for a super-fun fundraising night for our Centre, where Bingo games are played with song titles rather than numbers. Includes a sing-a-long round, plus food from Feast Brothers, live music and fun and games. Doors Open 5.30pm, Eyes Down 7pm.
Legs Eleven, One Little Duck and a Knock at the Door – if you know these phrases you know Bingo. But have you played the musical kind, where song titles replace numbers on your Bingo card?
Whether you have or not, we’re inviting you to join us for an extra-special games night where we’ll be having loads of laughs while raising money for the Centre so that we can continue to bring you world-class entertainment and provide a hub for community groups and activities from Bradford on Avon and beyond.
WHAT’S HAPPENING
- Doors open from 5.30pm so that local pasta kings, Feast Brothers, will be able to serve you supper from their food truck* and you’ll be able to buy drinks from our bar. Food served from 6pm
- Welcome drink on arrival donated by Great Wine Co
- Show starts at 7pm, just in time for the show hosted by MC Dabber, our gold-sequinned jacket wearing compere who’s tasked with making sure it’s all fun (and fair!)
- You’ll play four rounds ticking off pop song titles from the past 6 decades as you hear them. The winner of each game will receive a (non-cash) prize…woop woop
- Up-and-coming quirky covers band, FLQ, will be getting the room rocking with well-known hits and some audience participation too
- Plus be in with a chance to win an extra prize if you come dressed like a famous pop star from the 1950s onwards (but you don’t have to come in fancy dress)
