A community bingo night is taking place in Macclesfield, Cheshire, this evening, 29 January 2026, to help local residents connect and win prizes at an event hosted by Beeyou Support Hive. The session begins at 6:30pm and is designed to provide a relaxed, friendly space for neighbours of all ages to meet and talk.
The group’s founder, Laura McKie, launched the project in late 2024 (the launch event took place on 26 September 2024 at The Prince of Wales pub) to create spaces where people can support each other without the pressure of a formal medical setting. These events are part of a wider effort to combat loneliness in the area, which often increases during the colder parts of the year. The group often uses local pubs and social spots to make the sessions feel more like a normal night out than a traditional support meeting.
The organisation is registered as Beeyou Support Hive CIC, which means it operates with a community interest purpose. By hosting simple games like bingo, the group provides an easy way for people who might feel anxious or isolated to start joining in with local life again. Organisers say prizes for the games have been sourced from local businesses to help keep the focus on the town.
Residents can check local listings such as the Visit Macclesfield events guide for details of this and other local gatherings. People interested in going are encouraged to arrive early, as these social nights have become popular and can reach capacity quickly. The evening aims to be a welcoming environment for anyone in Macclesfield looking for company and a bit of fun.
