A massive 80s-themed bingo night is taking over one of Manchester’s biggest venues next month – and it’s all for a brilliant cause. 

Boobee will host Bingo Bedlam at Manchester Central, with fast-based bingo, games, mad prizes and even a suitably retro dinner. 

The brand-new event has been created to support and raise awareness for Prevent Breast Cancer, and hopes to make Manchester one of the most breast-aware cities in the country. 

Guests – who are encouraged to rock up in neon lycra and leg warmers – can expect all sorts of throwback entertainment.

A special Boy George tribute act from Boy Gorgeous, renowned for his similarities to the Culture Club singer, will light up the room.

A two-course dinner will be served that will hark back to the 80s, with themed cocktails to go with it. 

100 Manchester Boobees – women in Manchester that have either had, or have been affected by, breast cancer – will take to the stage for an inspiring catwalk, and will share their stories with the audience.
