Elphin Community Centre Bingo

Elphin Community Centre runs a weekly bingo night every Monday at 8pm, one of a handful of regular fixtures that keep the north Roscommon town busy through the week alongside AA meetings, a mobile library stop and the local day centre’s activities. It sits alongside the Elphin-Ballinameen area’s wider run of weekly and monthly community dates, from Tidy Towns workdays at the day centre polytunnel to traditional music sessions in the Tower Inn, and the bingo night has become one of the steady social outlets locals can count on turning up week after week.

What to expect

The format follows the standard bingo pattern found in community centres and GAA halls across the county: books of tickets sold at the door, numbers called from the top table, and a run of games building through lines, a full house and usually a jackpot that rolls over if unclaimed. It draws a loyal local crowd rather than a big turnout, and the tone is relaxed and sociable, more a chance to catch up with neighbours than a serious contest. The organisers thank regulars for their continued support in the parish’s weekly local notes, a sign of how established the night has become in Elphin.

Getting there

Elphin Community Centre is in the centre of Elphin, a small north Roscommon town on the R368, within walking distance of the town’s shops and church. There is parking available at and around the centre.

While you’re in Elphin

Elphin is a quiet market town worth combining with a visit to nearby Kilronan or the wider Arigna Valley, and it sits within easy reach of the rest of Co. Roscommon.
