A hugely popular event combining bingo with music and prize giveaways has announced it is coming to Edinburgh for three dates this summer.
Bongo’s Bingo has just revealed the dates for August shows at the O2 Academy, with the team saying they are rolling out the red carpet and bringing the paparazzi to town.
The special theme for August is 'Night At The Movies' and it’s going to be a "wild celebration of all things cinematic".
Guests are encouraged to come fancy-dressed as their favourite film star, icon or character – think everyone from Shrek and James Bond to Mary Poppins and Marvel.
And of course, there will be an abundance of soundtracks all night long from everyone’s favourite films.
