How are the bingo sessions set up at the Hippodrome?

The venue runs a mix of morning, afternoon and evening play on different days. Morning bingo happens at 11 am on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, followed by afternoon sessions at 1 pm on those same days and on Saturday. Evening bingo runs seven nights a week, with eyes down at 6:15 pm Monday to Friday and at 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Times can occasionally shift for specials, so treat this as a guide.

Are Hippodrome Bishop Auckland’s prices geared towards budget days or bigger nights out?

Prices are set up so you can keep things affordable on quieter days and spend a bit more when you want a bigger night. Afternoon packages are around £5 on Tuesdays and Fridays and roughly £15 on Saturdays. In the evenings, standard sessions are usually about £5 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, rising to around £15 on Friday and Sunday.

Can I choose between paper books and electronic packages at this club?

Yes. You can play on paper or on an electronic touchpad. Paper is great if you prefer marking your own numbers and running a few books. Electronic play puts your cards on a screen and follows the calls automatically, handy when you want to play extra tickets.

About

Hippodrome Bishop Auckland is on Railway Street. Unfortunately, the club has no car park, but spots are usually available in the street. For those wanting to travel by public transport, you can take the train or bus. The train station is less than a 5-minute walk away, and the buses are even closer, with all significant routes stopping just around the corner at Newgate Street Medical Centre.

The bingo hall occupies a former theatre that opened over 100 years ago, and you will find remnants of the building’s past throughout the club. The tables are spread across two levels, providing room for everyone, even on the busiest nights. Bingo is played 7 days a week, and paper and electronic tickets are available. There are often special deals and promotions that you can benefit from, all of which are well advertised on both the official website and their Facebook page.

Additional services include a bar and diner, a cash machine, a smoking shelter and slot machines.

FAQ

Yes. Thursday night is the standout value session, with the main evening bingo advertised as a freebie, so you only pay for any optional add-on games you choose to play.
