2020 saw the cancellation of many Christmas traditions, forcing millions of Brits to settle for zoom office parties, Christmas shopping online, and fewer guests at the dinner table.

As part of a weekend of National Bingo Day celebrations, Mecca Doncaster is hosting Junemas on Friday, June 25, a unique Christmas event to reclaim last year’s celebration and to restore the thrill of moments spent together. This will be followed by a summer of missed moment events in Mecca clubs.

Junemas marks the start of a whole weekend full of excitement, as the UK’s first ever National Bingo Day takes place on Sunday, June 27. This new, iconic day celebrates all things bingo across hundreds of bingo clubs in the UK, not just Mecca.

On this special day, Christmas really could come early with not one, but two guaranteed £50k National Game jackpots up for grabs leaving bingo fans wondering exactly what a £50k Christmas could look like. Not only that, everyone in the winning club will also win up to £100 each – so everyone wins this Christmas with National Bingo Day!

Michelle Winfield, General Manager at Mecca Bingo Doncaster, said: “We are thrilled to host this special and exciting weekend of events, giving a chance to our customers to catch up on missed moments – Merry Christmas everyone! With the entire nation being in lockdown last Christmas, many did not get the chance to celebrate like they normally would, so we are determined to turn that into a nicer memory. And with National Bingo Day’s opportunity to win life changing jackpots, we can’t help but imagine what our customer’s next Christmas could look like!”
