Bongo's Bingo giving away holiday to LA at special Newcastle show for Northern Pride

Over the past three years of coming to Newcastle, Bongo's Bingo have given away everything from crates of Lambrini to giant fluffy unicorns and cardboard cut outs of Phillip Schofield to mobility scooters but this month will see them give away their best prize yet.

And it will happen at what could potentially be the biggest Bongo's to date in Newcastle. On Friday, July 19, will help launch Newcastle Pride in style with a special featuring performances from Big Brovaz and Booty Luv.

But that's not all, as if you're going you could win a trip to LA!

Northern Pride Festival has teamed up with Manchester Airport – which sponsors the Los Angeles Main Stage at the event – to offer an exclusive prize draw at its Bongo’s Bingo launch night in just over two weeks time.

One lucky winner will receive a £2000 voucher to put towards a trip to LA, home to world-famous sights such as Universal Studios, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Griffith Observatory.

The prize is courtesy of Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Holidays, who this year are joining Manchester Airport at Northern Pride.

Ste Dunn, chair of Northern Pride, said: “LA is such a diverse city and there is something for everyone there, no matter your interests.

“This is a fantastic prize and we are very grateful to Manchester Airport, Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Holidays for their generosity in sponsoring the main stage for the third year running and donating such an amazing prize.

“Their support is helping us to plan an incredible festival for the whole LGBT+ community and our allies to enjoy and we couldn’t achieve this without the backing of our sponsors.”

The Northern Pride Festival takes place at Newcastle’s Town Moor and Exhibition Park from July 19-21, with a star-studded Pride lineup performing over the weekend including Fleur East, Saara Aalto and Liberty X.
