Edinburgh bingo venue to move from Leith to new £250m Ocean Terminal

A popular Edinburgh bingo venue will move from its location in Leith to the expansive Ocean Terminal shopping centre.

Ocean Terminal has agreed a long-term lease with Club 3000 Bingo, the UK’s largest independent bingo operator, which will see a new purpose-built, state-of-the-art club open at the centre next year.

Once the new club is built, Club 3000 Bingo will move from its current Edinburgh venue in Manderston Street to a new unit on the ground floor of the waterfront shopping centre.

Following the extension of the Edinburgh Tram network to Newhaven, Club 3000 Bingo forms a part of Ocean Terminal’s major redevelopment as a ‘town centre’ for the local community.

The plan, worth £250 million, will see the shopping centre refurbished, alongside a whole host of new homes.

Brian Fraser, Founder of Fraser Capital Management Ltd/Club 3000 Bingo, which operate 23 bingo clubs across the UK said: "We are really excited to be involved in this new project and look forward to opening our new club next year to add to our growing portfolio.

First opened in 2001, Ocean Terminal currently occupies three floors and 420,000 sq ft of leisure, hospitality and retail units. (Indigo PR)

"It promises to be one of the best clubs ever developed in the UK."

Chris Richardson, Managing Director of Ambassador Investments Ltd, the Scottish owner of Ocean Terminal, said: "We are delighted to welcome Club 3000 Bingo to Ocean Terminal.

"Its modern approach to creating an environment for a great night out fits seamlessly with our wider leisure offering and we look forward to the club opening its doors next year.

"We have ambitious plans for the centre and Club 3000’s long-term commitment to Ocean Terminal is a tremendous seal of approval for what lies ahead."
