Relight My Bingo

Bongo’s Bingo is ready to rule the world this Christmas as they announce their Take That-inspired specials over the festive period – welcome to Relight My Bingo in Liverpool.

After selling out 2023’s run of Elton John-inspired shows last Christmas, it’s time to pack away the feather boas and funky shades and relight the fires in honour of the beloved boyband. 

Bongo’s Bingo this Christmas in Liverpool is going to be extra special. Jonny Bongo and his dancers will transform CONTENT into a wild winter wonderland with special festive prizes and production, making Relight My Bingo an unmissable celebration.

The 18 Relight My Bingo specials launch on Friday 15th November and run all the way to New Year’s Eve to see out the year in the craziest of styles. Tickets are available now from www.bongosbingo.co.uk 

Bongo’s Bingo’s co-founder Jonny Bongo says: “Christmas truly is my favourite time of the year and we’re celebrating with inspiration from the biggest boyband of all time – Take That. Our shows will be packed with their iconic tunes and of course festive classics, bangers and anthems for good measure in the mix too. There’s going to be plenty of Bongo’s Bingo festive love and it’s a wonderful way to embrace Christmas with us as we go all the way to New Year’s Eve in Liverpool. So big the question is – who’s gonna let it shine?”

Bongo’s Bingo is the most talked about night out in the country and will celebrate its 10th anniversary in spring 2025. The original bingo extravaganza has rejuvenated a quintessentially quaint British pastime, featuring nostalgia-soaked revelry, rave rounds, dance-offs, en masse Karaoke, crazy prizes and much more in a dose of pure and unadulterated escapism. There’s truly nothing else like it.
