Settle in early with a pre-show dinner at the Utilita Arena, avoiding queues and leaving time to relax before the performance. Arena restaurants and bars offer convenient seating close to the entrances for a smooth lead-in to curtain up.

Expect pre-theatre menus featuring British classics and international dishes in a lively, fan-filled atmosphere. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour, subject to availability and service times on the night.

Strictly Come Dancing – Live in Birmingham

From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to our hotel for check-in. After some time to settle in and freshen up, we head to the Utillita Arena for the spectacular Strictly Come Dancing show. You can pre-book your evening meal at the arena, as there is time to enjoy dinner before the show. Later, the coach takes us back to the hotel for our overnight stay.

Strictly Come Dancing – Live in Birmingham

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and make our way to central Birmingham. Treat yourself to a shopping trip at the Bullring Shopping Centre and find over 160 retailers, including famous names such as Selfridges, or visit the world’s biggest Primark, offering plenty of great bargains. There’s also the chance to enjoy a dose of culture in the many museums and galleries or simply take a stroll through the parks or along the canals.

Elevate the spectacle and upgrade your seat for Strictly Come Dancing Live. Choose Category F (£15pp), Category E (£25pp) or Category D (£35pp), subject to availability, for improved proximity to the stage and clearer sightlines across the dancefloor.

Closer seating heightens every flourish—from the snap of the samba to the finesse of the Viennese waltz—while facial expressions and judges’ reactions feel more immediate. This is an optional enhancement at additional cost, bookable on tour.

Explore central Birmingham during an included city visit. Browse the contemporary arcades of Bullring & Grand Central beneath Selfridges’ curving facade, or dip into the world’s biggest Primark for high-street finds. Cafés and street food stalls add an easygoing, urban flavour to your time in the city.

Stroll the towpaths around Gas Street Basin—a handsome reminder of the city’s industrial heritage—or pause in Victoria Square to admire the Town Hall and Council House. With more miles of waterways than Venice, Birmingham rewards unhurried wandering and photography along its canal network.

Experience the buzz as you take your Category G seat for Strictly Come Dancing Live at the Utilita Arena Birmingham. Watch professional dancers and celebrity partners deliver showstopping ballroom and Latin routines, powered by the tour’s live band and singers. Judges add trademark quips and critiques while dazzling costumes and precision footwork light up the arena.

Relive favourites from the series—waltz, cha-cha-cha, jive and Argentine tango—and join the fun when the audience gets to vote for your favourite couple. This arena production captures the TV glamour on a grand scale. Category G seated tickets are included; seat upgrades are available at additional cost.
