The Cheeky Girls set to perform at Manchester's adult-only ball pit this Easter
06.04.2023 - 09:53 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Last summer, Manchester finally got it's very own ball pit, and unlike Wacky Warehouse, this one was adult-only. Bingo Balls opened up at The Printworks in July and offered 90s and early noughties kids a nostalgic trip back in time with its Mean Girls-inspired 'burn book', Barbie v Bratz wall and two huge ball pits lit up with LED lights.
Now, it's giving the same people the chance to relive their youth as cheesy pop sensations, The Cheeky Girls, take to the bar's stage for a special Easter performance. Identical twin sisters Gabriela and Monica Irimia are on the Bingo Balls line-up for the weekend alongside a host of other acts from Thursday through to Sunday.
The 'Cheeky Easter Sunday Bingo' will span bottomless brunch in the day, music bingo and a live set by night, and for fans of the ‘Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)’ singers a special meet-and-greet with Gabriela and Monica, aka The Cheeky Girls, following the gig. Early-bird tickets were scooped up quickly, but there's a final release still available, and ball pit passes too.

On Saturday, the bar hosts DJ Danny Sense will be on the decks all night as part of its Starstruck Saturdays event. To round things off nicely, Sunday night will see the arrival of the Cheeky Girls in the city, with a Cheeky Easter Bingo and a live performance.
