About
Gala Bingo South Shields has taken over the premises previously owned by Majestic Bingo at the Denmark Centre in the middle of town. Buses 516 and E1 run from just outside the club, and there are plenty more bus routes and the Metro service that you can catch by Smithy Street, which is just a five-minute walk away.
The venue offers electronic bingo (Mecca Max) and the traditional bingo game. You can get even more value for your money when you take advantage of one of the special offers or regular promotions featured at the club. Various food is available from their diner, and a fully stocked bar serves various drinks and snacks. Other services include a cash point, smoking shelter, disabled access, hearing loops, and a collection of fruit machines that provide an instant opportunity to win £500.
