I'm going in March on a Thursday night for st Patrick's day special
It's my first time going
What on earth do I wear?
It's going to be cold but inside will be packed and hot so don't think I want a coat
I was thinking
Jeans /cropped blazer /bodysuit
Or do I just go top and jeans ?
We are staying in a hotel and it's a 5 min walk away
Any ideas would one brilliant

I wore a top and jeans and took a jacket. You are sat at tables etc so just left my jacket on the bench. You don’t move around much/at all

You will be picking cocoa pops out of your cleavage all night whatever you wear

Flats for standing on the tables

From what I've heard, it needs to be comfy, breathable and washable 😂

DS went and he came back covered head to toe in beer/cider and what looked like the inside of party poppers stuck to the bottom of his shoes. So I would suggest not wearing anything that you don't mind getting a bit grubby. Grin

Just looked at a video of it. Jesus!

Sparklingbrook · 06/02/2023 20:26

But DS said he enjoyed every minute of it and is going again soon.

Oh good! I can’t see how it’s fun at all, but I am pleased it’s better than the video looks.

Love a bongo bingo, I wear jeans and a nice top usually. Heels too.

I feel a bit too old. It reminded me a bit of the Beer Keller in Brum with Bingo-that was always messy. Grin
A couple of people from work have had their hen dos at one.

I wore jeans and top and converse last time I went ....I came home covered in all kinds.....so nothing you are too worried about

Blondbombsite · 06/02/2023 20:33

I wore a short skirt, tights, glittery t-shirt and DMs. Definitely flats for getting on Feb tables. I went for my hen do and loved it. It was only today I was planning to go again with friends. It’s great fun but you have to let your hair down and just go with it 😂

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 06/02/2023 20:35

I’d wear baggy combats, fitted top, and either chunky trainers or docs.

HellcatSpangledShalalala · 06/02/2023 20:37

Anything you don't mind getting a bit grim! And definitely flats. I wore jeans with a bodysuit and Dr Martens last time I went.

I wear or wore the last couple of times and will probably wear again in March ...

Faux leather jeans, loose vest top, thin blazer, biker boots. Full make up and full hair blown all lovely.

We were up and down off the tables all night I would have fell off with heels. I am clumsy.
