Chronic Illness Bingo - Halloween 2026!

Fancy a cosy, mildly spooky evening where you can play games, win prizes, and support a fabulous cause? Join me online on Weds 14th October, 6.30-8pm for our next Chronic Illness Bingo event!

These evenings are a lovely, inclusive social gathering where those of us with chronic illnesses can get together to have a natter and play some low-energy games. Everything is explained as we go along, and all the materials you need are provided online (including your bingo card) during the session.

There are short rest breaks throughout, and I’ll be calling the ‘numbers’ at a slow and steady pace to allow for cognitive fatigue. If you don’t want to/aren’t able to play, you’re more than welcome to join the session to watch or have a chat!

Tickets cost £2 (plus 84p TicketTailor booking fee) and all money raised from ticket sales will be donated to the wonderful Smile For ME - a gorgeous organisation sending personalised presents to people with M.E. (and carers) when they need a smile the most. I’ve known Alice since the charity’s creation in 2012 and can tell you wholeheartedly that her work does wonders in reducing isolation and reminding people going through their most awful times that they’re not alone.

And, of course, we have fabulous bingo prizes up for grabs! This time they include...

• Original Ghost hand-collected from the world-famous York Ghost Merchants on The Shambles
• Giant Luxury Thermal Blanket from HeatHolders
• Gothic Literature Gift Bundle from Literary Emporium
• Art Print in design of your choice from Phoebe Jeebies Art
• 2x Disabled Joy Zines from The LUNA Project UK

Since it’s Halloween we’ll also have a prize for best-dressed (totally optional but I should make you aware that people COMMITTED to the theme last Christmas) *and* for the best spooky joke, so come prepared!

Prizes can only be won by those in the UK due to postage costs, but you're welcome to join in from wherever you are in the world. We always have a good laugh at these events and I’m *so* looking forward to this one. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, I’d love to see you there! 🎃✨
