Why Hout Bay Locals Are Swapping Netflix for Bingo Night at Bay Harbour Market

Bay Harbour Market is turning up the midweek fun with something a little different from the usual dinner-and-home routine:

Bingo Night by the Bay. Think buzzing market energy, seriously good street food, sea air in the background… and someone shouting “BINGO!” with wild joy.

On Wednesday, 3 December 2025, the market’s main floor transforms into a playful bingo hall, with calling starting at 7 pm sharp.

  • For just R20 a card, visitors get to dab their way through an hour of laughter, friendly competition, and a whole lot of hopeful number-checking. There are multiple prizes up for grabs, so every card feels like a tiny ticket to glory.

And it is all for a good cause.

Every rand of profit from bingo card sales goes straight to a local charity initiative. This month’s funds support the staff crowd-funding account for Veldt Restaurant in Hout Bay, helping the team get back on their feet after a devastating fire forced them to close. So each “eyes down” moment comes with a little extra heart.

Of course, this is Bay Harbour Market, so the food game is strong:

  • Sea Bar keeps things coastal with paella, fish and chips, fresh oysters, and crisp salads.

  • Rib Republic serves sticky, saucy ribs, rib buns with jalapeños, burgers, and chips for proper comfort food cravings.

  • Pizza Pizza fires up the oven for bubbling, cheesy pizzas loaded with favourite toppings.

Guests are encouraged to come early, grab a table, enjoy dinner and drinks, and then settle in for bingo as the evening kicks into gear. Ticket sales close at 6:59 pm, so there’s even more reason to arrive in time, order something tasty, and soak up the market atmosphere before the numbers start rolling.

With good vibes, great food, sea-side charm, and a chance to give back to the community, Bingo Night at Bay Harbour Market is shaping up to be the happiest R20 anyone could spend on a Wednesday.
