Not one, but two lots of Bongo's Bingo this December at Preston Guild Hall. First up, Bongo’s Bingo bring their Winter Wonderland show to Preston Guild Hall this December on Friday 15th! Along with the chaos of our usual shows, we’d like to invite you along for three especially festive dates featuring shiny baubles, giant presents, Christmas trees and snow cannons – we’ll basically be transporting you to Santa’s sack. There will of course be more than a liberal dose of Xmas songs from across the ages and extra special Christmas prizes for the lucky winners. It really has to be seen to be believed (this is not an exaggeration)... Followed by Bongo’s Bingo break in the New Year at Preston Guild Hall with a special guest performance from S Club! Expect our usual mix of big cash prizes, silly prizes, awkward dance offs and rave intervals with additional NYE countdown and DJ set as well as S Club performing all their 90s hits!

4) NORTHERN SOUL & MOTOWN CHRISTMAS PARTY
