Stuart Booth, venue head of events, said: “We reconise bingo is an attractive proposition to a range of people.

“This interest is for our more traditional sessions every afternoon and evening, but also our more extreme versions of crazy bingo.

“We have a show called No Limits Bingo, best described as being fun, loud and crazy – a party at the bingo like no other.

“The shows are great fun with our amazing hosts leading the audience in singalongs, dance-offs and bingo, with prizes from life-size cardboard cutouts and inflatable flamingos, to cash and stuff you really want, but didn’t realise you did.
