This December, Cardiff’s beloved events venue DEPOT is raising the bar for festive celebrations with the Bingo Lingo ‘Christmas Craic-ker’ – a seasonal spin on the wildly popular Bingo Lingo phenomenon, featuring a custom-built Irish pub, live entertainment, and unparalleled Christmas cheer!
Bingo Lingo events were born and bred in Cardiff in 2016 and have become a sensation across the UK and beyond, captivating audiences in over 50 cities with its raucous reinvention of traditional bingo. Weekly sell-out events at DEPOT attract up to 1,400 guests, and now, the Christmas Craic-ker series promises to be the crowning glory of the brand’s spectacular year-round fun.
Step inside ‘O’Dickels’ – A pop-up Irish pub with a festive flair
Adding a unique touch to this year’s festive Bingo Lingo series, DEPOT has teamed up with independent designers Tim Dickel and Sian Jenkins of BertandErnie Designs to create ‘O’Dickels’ – a bespoke Irish pub installation. Featuring vintage furnishings, gaming machines, live Irish bands, and all of the warm charm of a classic Irish boozer, O’Dickels will serve up the perfect pint of Guinness alongside non-stop festive revelry every weekend in December.
A bingo night like no other
Led by hilarious hosts and stage performers, Bingo Lingo offers a high-energy experience where participants can win incredible – and hilariously ridiculous – prizes, from electric scooters and festival tickets to giant inflatables and luxury holidays. Audience favourites include confetti-filled dance-offs, side-splitting stage battles, and nonstop nostalgic hits to keep the party alive all night.
Rhys Hartley, Operations Manager for Bingo Lingo said, “Whether you’re a warehouse raver, a corporate team, or simply looking for a night of festive fun with friends with a tongue-in-cheek Irish twist, our Christmas Craic-ker is the ultimate event to get you in the holiday spirit!”
