Is Mecca Bingo Sunderland a modern club or a traditional hall?

Mecca Bingo Sunderland is set in a converted cinema in the city centre. It has the feel of a classic, spacious bingo hall full of character, with seating for over a thousand players, plus its own bar, café, and slot machines.

What’s the best way to get here by public transport?

The Holmeside bus stops are right by the club, and Park Lane Interchange is a short walk if you want more connections. Park Lane Metro is also nearby, and Sunderland station is close enough to continue on foot or switch to Metro for one stop to Park Lane.

Mecca has a small customer car park by the Park Lane entrance. If it’s full, use nearby public parking such as The Bridges Shopping Centre or other city-centre car parks, and always check posted tariffs and opening hours.
