Case Study: Lloyds Magic Bingo Show

Lloyds | Live Team Event | 70+ Participants

The Brief

Lloyds approached Big Smoke Events looking for something extra special for their September team event. The Sustainability Team wanted an experience that would bring colleagues together in a fun, relaxed setting – something that encouraged laughter, connection, and shared memories, rather than a traditional sit-back-and-watch format.

The brief was clear: create an interactive, high-energy event that everyone could enjoy and talk about long after it ended.

The Solution

We delivered our Magic Bingo Show, transforming the space into a lively, cabaret-style experience designed to keep every participant engaged.

Seventy colleagues from the Lloyds Sustainability Team took part in an hour packed with live magic, interactive bingo rounds, and playful challenges. The show blended comedy, illusion, and friendly competition, ensuring there was never a dull moment.

Team prizes added an extra layer of excitement, while the interactive format encouraged colleagues to laugh together, cheer each other on, and connect in a genuinely memorable way. The energy in the room built quickly – and didn’t drop once.

The Result

The Magic Bingo Show was a huge success, delivering a seamless, high-energy team experience that strengthened connections across the team.

The impact didn’t stop there. The buzz from the event spread quickly throughout the organisation, and within weeks, two additional Lloyds teams – over 180 colleagues – booked their own Magic Bingo shows for the festive season.

A clear sign that when teams experience something truly engaging, word travels fast.

“The perfect mix of fun and connection – 10/10!”
