Eyes down Sittingbourne and get ready for a full house because Bingo is coming back.
Mecca Bingo, which is near the High Street, is to reopen its doors on Saturday with social distancing after being closed due to coronavirus.
Cleaning rotas and safety measures have been put in across all its clubs to make sure staff and players will be safe.
They include enhanced training and cleaning routines throughout the day for all tables, machines and touch points.
Visitors are also going to be asked to wash their hands with sanitiser as they move around the building.
Managing director of retail, Jonathon Swaine, said: "We want to reassure the Mecca Bingo community that we are working together to take every precaution necessary to create a safe environment in which to play the nation’s favourite game.
"We’re also investing in new entertainment formats in our clubs, to give everyone even better experiences.
"We are excited to reopen our doors, welcome back our communities and hear ‘house’ called once again."
Social distancing will also be encouraged with signage put up to help guide customers.
They can also choose to pay and play using contactless cards and devices, as well as cash.
Food and drink is able to be ordered from mobile phones or a screen at the tables and slots can be pre-booked.
New ‘Mecca Cares’ sessions, with reduced numbers, will be introduced, created for those who may be feeling nervous about getting back to normal life, following an extended period of lockdown.
