The team at the new LOL Bingo lounge on Lord Street are looking forward to Christmas in Southport. 

They have been busy putting up their festive decorations, as well as what they believe may be “the best Christmas tree in the shops on Lord Street!” 

Colleagues at LOL Bingo are very excited about a packed day of festive family entertainment this Saturday in the Town Hall Gardens opposite their window, as the Southport Christmas Spectacular takes place. 

LOL Bingo Director Mike Smith said: 

“It’s definitely looking festive in here now! All our decorations are up, including our magnificent tree, which we think is the best looking one in the shops along Lord Street.

“This is our first Christmas in Southport since we opened our doors at the start of October and we’re very excited to experience it. 

“We’re all really looking forward to seeing everything going on for the Southport Christmas Spectacular – the town centre should be busy! 

“We’d love to welcome people to call in for a game of bingo or two, either during the day, or in the evening after the event has taken place, or at the start of their night out. 

“LOL Bingo is open seven days a week from 10am until midnight, so we’re looking forward to a busy few weeks over the festive period. 

“We’ve had a fantastic response since we opened, and we’ve loved meeting everyone. 

“We’re still keen to let people know that we open late, until midnight. 

“This is the perfect place to start your night out, with a fun game of bingo, with a free bottle of Prosecco for any party of six or more. 

“We also have interactive dart boards; an American style pool table; a free jukebox and more. 

We also have a licensed bar too with a variety of drinks on sale. 

“This is our third LOL Bingo venue, adding to our other sites in Manchester and Newcastle, and we love being in Southport. 

“The community spirit and togetherness in this town is unbelievable, and we’re so pleased to be a part of it.

“We’re looking forward to a superb Saturday and a great Christmas period.” 

LOL Bingo was officially opened on 3rd October 2025 by former Southport bingo managers Derick Moss (general manager at Ladbrokes Lucky Seven / The Garrick 1974-1979) and John Waby (general manager at Ladbrokes Lucky Seven / The Garrick 1980-1981). 

The new venture opened at 229-233 Lord Street, in the former Lavish Homes unit on the corner of Lord Street and Scarisbrick Avenue, near The Scarisbrick Hotel. 

The new local independent business has been opened thanks to a £350,000 investment in the site, with the creation of eight new jobs. 

LOL Bingo Lounge Manager Jenny Phillips and her team have been on hand to welcome the first customers to Southport’s newest attraction. 

This is the third LOL Bingo in the UK, adding to other sites already operational in Harpurhey in Manchester and Wallsend in Newcastle. The firm has big ambitions to keep growing and to open more lounges in the coming years.
