An 80s-themed Bongo's Bingo-style event is coming to Manchester next month.
Players are being encouraged to dust off their leg warmers and neon lycra tights for the throwback night at Manchester Central.
Bingo Bedlam is the latest fundraising event from the BooBee campaign, which will raise vital funds for charity Prevent Breast Cancer, based at Wythenshawe Hospital.

Guests can expect hilarious, fast-paced bingo featuring exciting prizes, fun games, and a spectacular 80s disco. Adding to the nostalgia, a Boy George tribute act will also grace the stage.
An 80s inspired two course dinner, and themed cocktails will also be an offer. Fancy dress is optional - but very much encouraged.
The event will also feature 100 Manchester BooBees - women in the city who have either had, or have been affected by breast cancer. These women will share their inspiring stories and be part of a very special, show stopping catwalk.
The evening will also see experts in breast cancer prevention provide an update on the charity's mission to prevent and cure breast cancer through life-saving research.
The BooBee campaign is in support of Prevent Breast Cancer and aims to make Manchester one of the most breast aware cities in the country.
The brand was developed by Margo Cornish and Melanie Hudson from creative agency The Shake, shows the pink bee as a symbol that represents the creativity, versatility and spirit of Greater Manchester.
Launched in 2019, part of the BooBee mission is to increase general awareness of breast cancer, give women the confidence to speak to their GPs and encourage them to ask for a referral to a breast unit, should they find a symptom or have a concern.
Manchester-based charity Prevent Breast Cancer is the UK's only charity focused solely on the prediction and prevention of breast cancer.
In 2007 they helped generate £2million for the building of The Nightingale Centre and Prevent Breast Cancer Research Unit at Wythenshawe Hospital.
The Bingo event will start at 5pm on Saturday 19 November at Manchester Central, with doors opening at 4pm. Tickets are priced from £50. You can find more information here.
