THERE'S a question mark over the future of a bingo hall in Worcester after the company that owns it went into administration.
Majestic Bingo's Worcester branch on Derwent Close in Brickfields is one of the many bingo halls that could be closing its doors for good after the firm fell into administration.
Interpath Advisory, appointed to handle the administration, said the company had been profitable but had been badly hit by the pandemic. The administration puts 143 jobs at risk.
The administrators said they would continue to trade the venues as a going concern while they explored the options.

Worcester News contacted the Majestic Bingo Worcester branch, and it said they have no comment to make at this time.
No date for an official closure of the Worcester branch has been confirmed.
Majestic Bingo was one of the leading independent UK operators of retail bingo, with eight clubs spanning across England and Wales.
Majestic Bingo has branches in Skegness, Tonypandy, Bishop Auckland, Donnington, Camborne, Rhyl and Caernarfon.
In February, Mark Jepp, the owner of Majestic Bingo in Worcester, paid for a plaque in memory of David Timbrell who died in hospital after suffering a heart attack at the venue.
June Broadway, staff member at Majestic Bingo, helped raise £1,250, to buy the defibrillator and its case.
