We plan to invest £27 million across our estate over the next 12 months, reinforcing our long-term commitment to the UK bingo sector through new club openings and significant refurbishments.

Our family-owned business will expand its portfolio with the launch of a new £5.5 million flagship club at The Bridges Shopping Centre in Sunderland, scheduled to open in early 2027. In addition, we've acquired a site at 37 Hartcliffe Way in Bristol, where we will develop a state-of-the-art purpose-built bingo club, due to open in the Autumn of 2027, representing a £13 million investment.

These new venues will provide modern entertainment destinations for their local communities, combining the latest bingo technology with contemporary interiors and a premium customer experience. Players will benefit from industry-leading prize money, affordable sessions and a welcoming social environment designed to appeal to both existing and new audiences.

These two developments are expected to create around 100 new jobs, delivering further economic benefits to both Sunderland and Bristol.

We currently operates 24 clubs across the UK. The new openings will increase our estate to 26 clubs, reflecting the company's continued investment in growing the business and expanding access to high-quality bingo entertainment in communities across the country.

Alongside the new developments, we will also be investing heavily in our existing estate, with major refurbishment programmes underway at our clubs in Mansfield, Cwmbran, Doncaster and Coatbridge. These projects form part of our wider £27 million investment programme, ensuring customers across the UK continue to enjoy modern, high-quality venues.

Brian Fraser, Founder of Club 3000 Bingo, said:

"We are delighted to announce this significant investment in the future of Club 3000 Bingo. The removal of Gaming Duty on Participation (GPT) has given us the confidence to accelerate our investment plans, not only for our business but for the wider bingo industry.

"Our ambition is to continue creating first-class bingo and entertainment venues that combine innovation, exceptional value and a welcoming atmosphere. These investments demonstrate our confidence in the future of retail bingo, and we look forward to bringing these fantastic new clubs to life while continuing to enhance our existing estate for our customers."
