Castle Bingo

Who doesn’t love a game of bingo ey?
Well Merthyr is host to this lovely bingo hall, you now the one with the annoying tv advert; ‘castle bingo, ooh castle bingo!‘
A lovely looking building from the outside in the night it really is very pretty!
Inside it’s you usual bingo hall, a bit retro, a lot of rinses and a lot of menopausal women fanning themselves with their card.
Food and drink are stupidly cheap, i had curry, rice and chips for something like £1.50.
This is an extremely good girls night out whatever your age and the game itself is slightly compelling.
Although your cards are not that reasonable, prizes are pretty good and even if you loose yo get that warmish, happy glow that i imagine athletes get. Not sporty myself, it was nice to actually take part in something.
Go on mun…

This Castle Bingo in Merthyr Tydfil is one of the newest and most high-​tech of this chain of bingo halls. It’s certainly an impressive sight form the outside. It’s just a couple of minutes from the town centre, and so is very easily accessible to all.
Inside the hall it all feels decidedly 90’s. Phoenix Nights and other such images spring to mind, as well as caravan holidays in Cornwall. But there is something annoyingly addictive and competitive about bingo. And still I manage to enjoy it every time.
I’m not really a massive fan of bingo, but I’ve been to this place a couple of times and have had pretty nice evenings out, if I have to admit it (which I guess I do, really!)
This is, as most of u already know, not really a young person’s kind of scene. But despite this, if you go along with the right attitude (slightly crazed) and the right group of people (slightly crazed), then you’re guaranteed a night you’ll remember.
