What buses stop near Connaught Bingo Herne Bay?

For the closest drop-off, aim for the Richmond Street stops on High Street, around a 3-minute walk from the club. From there, it is a simple stroll down Station Road Corner towards the seafront and Central Parade. These stops are served by regular Stagecoach routes including 36 between Herne Bay and Margate, and 600, 601, 602 and 603 between Herne Bay, Whitstable and Canterbury.

How much should I roughly budget for bingo at Connaught Bingo Herne Bay?

On paper, afternoon mains start from about £4 on the cheaper days and are usually around £7 on standard sessions, with higher-priced packages at busier times. Evening paper mains tend to sit in the £6–£10 range depending on the day. If you opt for electronic Boards instead, packages such as Bronze through to Diamond start from roughly £21.50 and can reach the mid-£80s for the biggest bundles. Treat these as rough guides and always check the latest times and prices sheet or website before you buy.

What are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond Boards, and how do they differ from paper tickets?

The named Boards are Connaught’s electronic bingo packages. Instead of holding books in your hands, you pick a Board level, and a touchpad looks after a set number of tickets for each game. The higher you go from Bronze up towards Diamond, the more tickets are included and the higher the package price. You are still in the same games and prizes as paper players, it is simply a choice between a small paper book or letting the tablet manage a bigger bundle for you.

What is Connaught Bingo Herne Bay like inside compared to the big chains?

Connaught has more of a traditional seaside club feel than a large retail-park hall. The building has history as a former hotel and dance hall, and regulars describe it as cosy, old-school and very friendly. It is an independent club that has been on the seafront for over 50 years.

Can I get a meal here?

The bar serves well-priced hot and cold food alongside drinks, and reviews often mention good portions and decent value for cooked meals. You will also find smaller bites if you only want something light.

Session Prices

Prices at this club vary substantially and depend on the day you play, the session time (afternoon or evening), and whether you prefer to play on paper or purchase one of the various electronic packages.

Afternoon paper mains start from as little as £4 on Friday. Prices the rest of the week are £7 Monday to Thursday and £9.40 on Sunday. Basic 6s Boards start at £15.50, whilst Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Super Platinum, and Diamond Boards range from £21.50 up to a maximum of £86.80.

The cheapest evening paper main plays on Wednesday for £6. Prices for the rest of the week are as follows: Tuesday £8, Saturday and Sunday £8.50, Thursday £8.80, Monday £9.40, and the most expensive session takes place on Friday for £10.

When available, extra games typically cost £4.50 – £12. The £10 Friday price tag, however, is for an All-In session, meaning you will have all available tickets, including the extras, for one price. If you enjoy playing the extra games, Friday nights are excellent value!

The Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum Super Platinum and Diamond Board evening packages start from £21.50 and cost a maximum of £73.30

As always, times and prices can change at any time, so we strongly suggest contacting the club by phone or social media for the latest information.
