Date of closure: 31st July 2014
Address (for reference only):
Seven Bingo (Lost Halls)
Dover Road
Folkestone
CT20 1JL
Seven Bingo had been going since 2007, although it the numbers had been called since the seventies under the previous ownership of Deluxe Bingo. The club closed because the lease was up, and the owners decided not renew due to high rates and falling custom. During the year that the bingo industry as a whole welcomed the reduction in bingo taxation the closure will be a great loss to some members of the local community as it leaves the town bereft of a bingo club.
