After a long break due to constant Covid lockdowns, the Thursday night Musical Bingo showdown is back on at Marigold’s Kitchen at Lismore City Bowls Club - starting tonight.

If you’ve never played musical bingo before, it involves receiving a card with a list of song names. Then you listen to the bingo master play snippets of songs - and you tick them off your list. The first one to tick off all the songs is the winner.

The brainchild of the fun night of dinner and bingo is local cook, Marigold. She wants the event to become a regular Thursday event at the Molesworth Street venue.

Marigold said bringing patrons back to the CBD bowls venue was important – as the club has been affected by the past year of Covid restrictions and lockdowns.

“Even if people don’t want to eat, they can play bingo and have a drink,” Marigold said. “It’s free to play and there are dinner vouchers, bottles of wine and chocolates as prizes.

Marigold used to be a cook at the Italo Club and has lots of experience with buffet style food – she hopes to bring back the buffet once a week at Marigold’s Kitchen.

“We first opened up Marigold’s Kitchen in the bowlo in April,” she said. “It’s been a struggle with Covid, but we are keen to get back to a regular thing.”

Bingo starts at 7pm, but people are encouraged to arrive at 6pm and order dinner.

Until the buffet comes back, it will be a cook to order menu with steak, cutlets, schnitzels, roast meat, nachos and a vegetable stacker. These are also vegan options available.  

Marigold’s Kitchen will operate at the Lismore City Bowls Club every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night, from 5:30 till 8:30pm. To book a table, call 0432291824.
