Piltown Parish Community Centre Bingo

Piltown Parish Community Centre runs a weekly bingo night as part of a packed community programme that also includes an indoor bowls club, keep fit classes, a karate club and a snooker club, making the centre one of the busiest small-town venues in south Kilkenny through the week. Bingo has been a fixture of the centre’s programme for years, and it remains one of the more accessible, low-cost social evenings in the village for people of all ages.

What to expect

Expect a traditional bingo format run by parish volunteers, with ticket books, a caller and a series of prize rounds. The community centre itself is a multi-purpose venue rather than a dedicated bingo hall, so the same hall used for bingo also hosts computer classes, knitting and art groups, a senior citizens club and table tennis on other days of the week, giving a sense of how central the building is to community life in Piltown. The bingo crowd tends to be a loyal, local one, and it is the kind of event where new faces are noticed and welcomed rather than lost in a crowd. As with many parish-run social nights, exact prize money and ticket pricing can vary week to week depending on turnout and any fundraising tie-in, so it is worth checking with the centre directly if that detail matters.

Getting there

Piltown Parish Community Centre is in the village of Piltown, just off the R697 between Carrick-on-Suir and Kilkenny city. On-street and centre car parking is available.

While you’re in Piltown

Piltown is a small, tidy estate village associated with the Bessborough demesne, and a quiet base for exploring the Suir valley side of south Kilkenny. There is more to see in Piltown and across Co. Kilkenny.
