The prizes can be really outrageous and absurd, including winning your body weight in cheese, an inflatable cabbage costume, a wheelie bin, and shark diving in Skegness.

You’re in for a treat if you pick up a win during the rave rounds on a Bada Bingo night (the rave round is infamous – it’s the ultimate party tracks in quick succession that’ll have you pounding the dancefloor). Massaoke is perfect for anyone who fancies themselves the next Whitney Houston, and the confetti showers and CO2 cannons are to be expected. Nights are often co-hosted by well-known DJs spinning the decks, plus look out for the XL tour that features live sets.

Food & Drink Options

Bada Bingo

Bada Bingo is all about getting your rave on, so this is set up like a true party game, not a restaurant. Don’t expect proper food services, but bar snacks are certainly available, and by their own confession, Bada Bingo “parties hard” which essentially means ‘the bar is stocked and open’. The drinks prices are fair. Buzz Bingo locations are usually in high-traffic areas, so you should be able to grab a bite to eat near the bingo hall. If you’re the designated driver, there’s parking available at most venues because Bada Bingo takes place in the Buzz Bingo halls. You can also expect decent transport links, amenities on site like cash machines, and maybe even a roofed terrace where you can take a breather from all the ravin’.
