✨ A Night to Remember: Strictly Come Dancing Live ✨

Glamour, spectacle, and showstopping dance - the live tour brings the sparkle and scale of the BBC TV show into an arena format: full lighting, live music, dramatic costuming, thunderous applause, and crowd-rousing performances.
Celebrity contestants + professional dancers -You’ll see (or hear announcements of) some of the best couples from recent Strictly series, dancing styles ranging from the cha-cha to the tango to showdance.
Judges, direction & hosting - This is a true “official” Strictly production. Craig Revel Horwood (who often directs and choreographs the tour) is typically part of the artistic leadership. The judging panel (e.g. Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke) features prominently, with interludes of commentary, audience engagement, and presentation flair.
Interactive moments & surprises - Live tours often include moments when the audience feels part of the show: voting, hosting banter, costume reveals, maybe even a surprise cameo or two.
Precise start and logistics - Doors typically open about an hour before showtime to allow seating, merchandising, and refreshments.

What is Strictly Come Dancing
The long-running BBC competition pairs celebrities with professional dancers, challenging them over weeks in ballroom, Latin, and fusion dance styles. Contestants receive scores from judges and public votes; the lowest-scoring pairs may face elimination until a final champion is crowned each season.
Why the live tour?
The Live Tour is a beloved tradition: fans who’d love to see their favorite dancers up close get to see dazzling performances in large-scale arena settings. It bridges TV reach with live theatre.
2026 Tour — What’s New / Special
Based on recent press, the 2026 tour marks a return after a hiatus (some reports suggest the 2025 tour was paused or altered), and the line-up has been officially announced.
One notable change: Motsi Mabuse, who has been part of judging and tours, is reported not to appear on the 2026 tour.
But fans can still expect a top-tier production with Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, and Anton Du Beke in prominent roles, plus Janette Manrara returning as host to keep the energy high.

You’ll arrive in Nottingham with free time at leisure prior to the show (to allow time to dine, wander, and return to the arena).
The Motorpoint Arena is centrally located (Bolero Square, NG1 1LA).
Inside the arena, there are bars and light food options (e.g. the “Prior Life Bar” for drinks/cocktails) to grab pre-show refreshments.
