Permanently Closed Buzz Bingo Clubs

Buzz has shut a fair few clubs over the years, mostly after the 2020 lockdown when the company closed 26 halls in one go, with more going since. These ones are no longer open, but we’ve kept a record of them here. If your old local has vanished, this is probably where it went.

A bit About Buzz Bingo

From Coral to Gala to Buzz

Buzz Bingo hasn’t always been Buzz. The chain started life as Coral bingo clubs, became Gala Bingo back in 1991, and only took the Buzz name in September 2018 after a £40 million revamp. That’s why a lot of players still call their local “the Gala”. The Gala name didn’t disappear either. It carries on as an online bingo and casino site under different owners, so Gala online and your nearest Buzz club are two separate things these days. The clubs themselves are run by Buzz Group, with head office in Nottingham, and have been owned by Intermediate Capital Group since 2021.

Why so many clubs have closed

The closed list above is longer than anyone at Buzz would like, and most of it traces back to 2020. With every club shut during the Covid lockdowns, the company ran out of road and went through a restructure that closed 26 of its 117 halls for good. A few more have gone since. It’s been a hard few years for land-based bingo across the board, not just Buzz, with energy bills and quieter high streets taking their toll.

What a Buzz club is like today

Step into a Buzz club now and there’s a fair bit more going on than the bingo. Every one has its own slots room with around 150 machines and jackpots up to £500, and the main bingo runs up to six sessions a day, on paper or on the touchscreen terminals. The big-money games are part of the pull, with the Big Buzz Special handing £50,000 to a full house in 40 numbers or fewer. One Leeds player famously turned a 20p ticket into £14,000.

Plenty of clubs also put on live event nights, from Bada Bingo raves to ABBA singalongs and a quiz hosted by Mark Labbett of The Chase. And if a club feels a bit grand, there’s often a reason. A good number of Buzz halls are former cinemas and theatres. The Tooting club, for one, is a 1931 Art Deco picture house that’s now a listed building.

Buzz Bingo Clubs FAQ

How many Buzz Bingo clubs are there in the UK?

There are 76 open Buzz Bingo clubs across England and Scotland, with none in Wales or Northern Ireland. You’ll find every one of them listed above by region, along with the clubs that have closed over the years so you’ve got the full picture.

Is Buzz Bingo the same as Gala Bingo?

Not quite. The high-street clubs you see today were Gala Bingo until September 2018, when the whole chain was rebranded as Buzz Bingo. The Gala name still exists, but only online now, and it’s run by a different company (Entain). So if you remember your local as Gala, it’s almost certainly a Buzz club these days.

Why have some Buzz Bingo clubs closed?

Most of the closures came after the 2020 lockdown. With clubs shut during Covid, Buzz ran into financial trouble and permanently closed 26 of its 117 halls in one go, with a handful more going since. The clubs still trading are listed at the top of this page, and the closed ones are further down.

Do you have to be a member to play at a Buzz Bingo club?

Yes, but joining is free and only takes a couple of minutes. You can sign up online beforehand at buzzbingo.com, or just join at the door when you arrive. You’ll need to be 18 or over.

Do I need ID to play at Buzz Bingo halls?

Buzz runs a Think 25 policy, so if you look under 25 you’ll be asked to prove you’re over 18. A passport or driving licence will do the job. If you’ve got neither to hand, ring the club first and they’ll tell you what they can accept.

How much does it cost to play at Buzz Bingo?

It’s usually cheaper than people expect. Tickets can start from around £2, and new members tend to get a starter pack for about £5 with a meal and a drink included. Prices vary by club and by session, so check your local club’s page for the detail.

What are the opening times and bingo session prices at Buzz?

They vary from club to club, so the opening hours on each club’s own page are the ones to trust. As a rule, Buzz clubs run up to six bingo sessions a day, from a late-morning game through to a Late Finale in the evening. If you’re travelling for a particular session, give the club a quick call first.

Can you play on paper or touchscreen?

Both. You can stick with a traditional paper book, or play on one of the electronic touchscreens (Buzz calls them EBTs). The touchscreens let you play far more tickets at once and will dab the numbers for you on autoplay, which is why a lot of regulars prefer them. The staff will happily walk you through it on your first visit.

Is there food, drink and parking?

Every club has a bar and a food menu, and you can order from your seat on the touchscreen. The Chicken Basket and Ultimate Chips are the big sellers. Parking depends on the club, as some have their own car park and some don’t, so check the club’s page before you set off.

Can you smoke or vape inside a Buzz club?

No, the clubs are smoke and vape-free indoors. A lot of them have a covered outdoor Bingo Terrace, though, so you can nip out for a smoke and still play along without getting rained on.

Is there more than bingo at a Buzz Bingo club?

Quite a bit more. Every club has a slots room with around 150 machines and jackpots up to £500, and many put on live event nights, from bingo raves to ABBA singalongs and even a quiz hosted by Mark Labbett from The Chase. For a lot of players it’s as much a night out as a game of bingo.

Can I play Buzz Bingo online instead?

Yes. Buzz has a full online bingo site at buzzbingo.com if you can't get to a club, or just fancy a game from the sofa. You can read our honest take on it in our Buzz Bingo online review. There's one catch, though. Money in your online account can't be spent in the clubs yet, and the same goes the other way round.
