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.
Doors will 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*. Then you’ll make your way into our auditorium for 7pm, just in time for the show to open with Bingo Caller extraordinaire Karl Bevis naming the tunes. You’ll play four rounds (including a sing-a-long round), 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.
Karl will also entertain you with other games and jokes, before up-and-coming quirky covers band, FLQ, delight you 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.
Sounds like a great way to spend a Wednesday night? You bet! Not only will there be plenty of LOLs, but profit from ticket sales will all be going to help us keep the Centre alive and continue to put on the events you love. For example, did you know it will cost us £12,000 to replace all of our (currently tatty) chairs used on stage by professional musicians (£80 per chair), £114 to replace each music stand and £20,000 to complete the boiler upgrade to make it more efficient and less polluting? As an arts charity it costs us £350,000 a year to run the Centre – we rely on donations, trusts and foundations, ticket sales, public funding and gifts in wills. We’re aiming to raise at least £1,000 from this event, so come on down and enjoy the fun while helping us raise money at the same time.
Tickets cost just £12pp which includes a drink on arrival, or £40 for 4.
