Date of closure: February 2008
Address (for reference only):
Gala Bingo
West Granton Road
Edinburgh
EH5 1PE
The hall was one of the clubs included in Gala Bingo’s announcement early in 2008 that it would be closing five clubs. The closure was directly linked to the introduction of the smoking ban, but other external circumstances have contributed to the club’s decline. There’s more information on the closure of the club here.

I worked here in 1999 as a caller, great staff and loved it there. We had a birthday party that year, two hour show performed by the staff. I would love a copy of the video which was taken, I did Queen’s “I want to break free”. I hope all that were there are back in employment elsewhere
i worked there a week before it opened and spent nearly 4 years there. done everything from mainstage calling to party bingo calling, u name it I done it there. great memories meet some lovely people there staff & customers. pity gala opened meadowbank after 3 years off working at west granton as it killed the club at west granton in my opinion.
