• Porkies! Blimey, was a regular visitor for many years even used to book a days holiday when they had all you could drink for £5 including entry fee. I have now seen the light. I suspect the only thing that has changed there over the years is the ash trays. I once also whitnessed one of the loudspeakers come off the wall mounting one evening and knock someone out. Stay away, keep to the roads...

• went to The Ferrands Arms on saturday night What an excellent selection of music play by the DJ rnb - Retro kept us moving till the close, unlike the damp walls and muppets in the infamous 'porkies' night club across the road
• Porkys - a Bingley legend. It's the worst club ever, but after a few drinks it doesn't seem as bad. Remember when they used to serve burgers and chips in there!
• get beat up by drunk thugs at porkies
• The only club in Bingley is porkies. well, it was big fellas, then porkies, now its Berlins! It's a crap hole. Officially the 2nd worst club in the country! never, ever, under no circumstances go! Its a tiny basement, with sticky floors, horrible shitty lighting, n crap toilets. Loadsa children (its sayin sumthing, im only 18!) horny pervs, n overpriced drinks. in summary : SHITHOLE
• When u are having a night in Bingley its the best you can get cause if you go keighley u will end up coming out of the clubs beaten Black and blue thats why you best of going to bingley cause its the number on place.With Porky's, Weatherspoons, The Midland and also the Ferands.

• Drinkig - Hockey - drinking . It's non-stop at the Bradford and Bingey Sports Club on Wagon Lane with Bingley Bees Ladies Hockey Club. What's that I hear you say 'What hockey club? Bingley? Is the town big enough?' Actually we are in the Premier Division of the Yorkshire League and (hopefully) heading for the Northern England divisions. We run 2 teams (setting up a 3Xl this year) and love our sport, drinking, singing and dancing. So come along and join the fun. People of all ages and abilities will be made most welcome. Just drop me an email and I will reply asap.
• Bigfella's a.k.a. Porky's: don't bother. the place is heaving with scumbags and the bouncers carry on like they're the mafia when all they are is small time twerps.
• BIG FELLAS IS OK BUT RISK OF A BEATING BY BOUNCERS OR LOCALS
• Do not go drinking in Bingley it is reaallly crap. Apart from the fleece on tuesday nights when pools free

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
