Some cities have embraced it far harder than others, so here are the UK's top party bingo capitals for October, and what you can expect in each.

The event numbers you'll see on each city change by the day, as fresh nights get added and the popular ones sell out. The running order, though? That rarely shifts much. One city sits proudly at the top, month after month. And with Halloween on the way, every city on this list is laying on spooky specials, so there's never been a better month to get involved.

Dancing on Tables and Daft Prizes

Make no mistake, these are not teetotal nights of quiet dabbing. Expect dancing on the tables, singing at the top of your lungs, and a crowd that's well up for it. The game's really just the excuse for the party. I've done a fair few myself over the years, drag bingo is our annual Christmas do at Das Kino in Nottingham, where the top prize is usually a loo roll. Says it all, really.

And the prizes? Gloriously random. A giant inflatable unicorn, a Henry Hoover, a bog roll, or something very rubber and very rude indeed. That last sort is a bit like what Foxy Bingo was nearly called, but that's a whole other story, have a read of our Foxy guide if you fancy a blush.

The big traditional operators are joining in too. Buzz Bingo runs an Oktoberfest night, though theirs is more of a classic bingo game with a theme bolted on, a stein and a real cash full house, rather than the full table-dancing carry-on. Different beast, same festive spirit.

Liverpool: The Undisputed Party Bingo Capital

No contest here. Liverpool runs away with it every month, and October's no different, this is the city that gave us Bongo's Bingo back in 2015, and the madness spread from there. Expect the lot: rave bingo, drag brunches, bottomless sessions and themed specials, most nights of the week. Scousers know how to throw a party. Have a look at the Liverpool party bingo events on now.

Manchester: Hot on Liverpool's Heels

Manchester takes a comfortable second, a party city through and through, with a big student scene, cheap midweek nights and full-on weekend blowouts. The Northern Quarter and the bigger clubs host everything from drag bingo to rave rounds and bottomless brunch. A younger, louder crowd, so if you're after high energy and a good dance after the last full house, have a browse of the Manchester party bingo events.

London: The Capital Does It Big

London rounds out the top three. What it lacks in Liverpool's volume it makes up for in variety and scale, the widest spread anywhere, from intimate drag bingo in Soho basement bars to huge headline shows in the big clubs. Spread right across the city, so there's usually something close to you, and the hosts tend to be top-drawer. Have a look at the London party bingo events.

Birmingham and Sheffield: The Midlands and Yorkshire Join In

Birmingham and Sheffield usually scrap it out for the next couple of spots, and both put on a cracking night. Birmingham leans towards drag brunches and big touring rave shows around Broad Street, while Sheffield's a bit more student and Old Skool, with a friendly, down-to-earth crowd. Both have taken to it like ducks to water, so have a browse of the Birmingham and Sheffield events.
