Can I choose between paper tickets and touchscreens?

Yes. At Mecca Bingo Exeter, you can either play on traditional paper tickets or use the electronic touchscreens. Paper suits players who like to mark their own numbers, while the tablets log you in with your membership details and use auto dab to mark tickets for you, which helps if you want to follow more cards at once.

What time do the bingo sessions usually start?

The main evening bingo normally begins at 6:20pm seven nights a week at Mecca Exeter. Morning games are typically 11am Monday to Friday, 10:15am on Saturday, and 11:10am on Sunday, with afternoon sessions at 12pm daily. Schedules can shift for events, so check the current listing before you set off.

How much should I budget for a typical bingo session?

As a rough guide, morning books are £2, with a £4 second session on Saturdays. Afternoon tickets can vary from £1 up to £13, while evening mains are £8 on Monday, £13 on other weekdays and £18 at the weekend. Prices can decrease with promotions, so double-check on the day.

Where should I park when visiting the club?

Mary Arches Street car park is just behind the club, and Mary Arches multi-storey (off Bartholomew Street East) is another nearby option. Both are paid car parks, so check the on-site signs for charges and payment methods when you arrive.

Can I order food and drink inside the venue?

Yes, there is a bar and diner at Mecca Bingo Exeter serving well priced food and drink. You can order snacks between games, or go for a hot main course if you are making a longer visit. Menus and meal deals change, so check in the club or on the official page for the latest options.

About

Mecca Bingo Exeter is a large club that can seat over 1,000. It features plenty of electronic bingo terminals, also known as Mecca Max, and an arcade area full of fruit machines. In addition, great-value food and drink are always available from the bar and diner. Disabled guests are well accommodated, with accessible facilities including seating, hearing loops, and a chair lift.

The friendly club welcomes new and old players to try and win one of the hundreds of prizes given away every week. Plus, there is always a variety of offers, such as daily and monthly specials, bonuses, promotions, and giveaways.

The venue is near the Guildhall shopping centre and was formerly a cinema called the Gaumont Palace. It originally opened in the 1930s and was later converted into a bingo hall in the 1960s. Since then, it has been listed as a protected building, and many of the classic features, such as the ceiling dome, remain today.

FAQ

Mecca Bingo Exeter is housed in what was once a city cinema, so you’ll notice high ceilings, a central dome and plenty of original touches from its theatre days. It is not your typical modern bingo hall, as the venue still feels grand and full of character. If you like places with a bit of local history, this is a great choice.
