Mark Labbett To Host Bingo And Quiz Night In Colchester

Mark Labbett, the quizmaster nicknamed “The Beast” on The Chase, will visit Colchester as part of a nationwide “Beat the Beast” tour, offering an evening of bingo, a live quiz and an opportunity for local players to challenge his knowledge.

Event details and schedule for Mark Labbett’s visit

The event will take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, with the evening running from 6: 45 pm ET until 11: 30 pm ET. Attendees will be able to take part in both bingo and a live quiz session during the night, and Mr Labbett will also call a page of bingo during the session. Fans will have the chance to meet him in person during the event.

How the competition will work and prizes on offer

Quiz enthusiasts in the region will be able to compete in a live quiz in which the top three contestants earn the opportunity to go up against Mr Labbett in a bid to win a cash prize. The programme of the evening combines traditional bingo play with a head-to-head quiz challenge designed to test local players against the Chaser.

Tickets, age rules and entry cut-off

Only individuals aged 18 and above can attend the event. Last entry will be allowed up to 9: 00 pm ET. Early Bird tickets are currently available for £11, with limited availability expected as demand builds. Ticket sales for the “Beat the Beast! Mark Labbett – Colchester 13/06/26” event are being handled through the listed ticketing channel.

The appearance is part of a wider tour that brings the quizmaster to local bingo clubs for in-person events where fans can test themselves directly against his extensive knowledge. Organisers have positioned the night as a combined entertainment and competition evening aimed at local quiz and bingo players.

Attendees should note the age restriction and entry time when planning to attend what is being promoted as an evening of live bingo, quizzing and an in-person meet-and-greet with Mark Labbett.
