A VINTAGE bingo event with a beach theme takes place at Mecca Bingo in Bolton on Thursday.

It will be an evening when no hi-tech gadgets will be in use – a throwback to the days of the old fashioned paper bingo.

The sessions are 30 minutes long each, starting at 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30pm and 2.30pm.

They cost £3 per person to attend and are for over-18s only. There will also be a vintage disco on arrival and a free stick of rock.
