Leap into Christmas as iconic Birmingham hotel teams up with ballet

The magical Nutcracker ballet runs until Saturday, 14 December at Birmingham Hippodrome and to celebrate, the Grade II listed Grand Hotel on Church Street has partnered with Birmingham Royal Ballet to offer an unforgettable experience – An overnight stay at The Grand Hotel Birmingham, plus tickets to a performance of The Nutcracker! 

The two iconic Birmingham brands have a natural synergy, both proud of their history within the city and both passionate about protecting their heritage for future generations. 

General Manager of The Grand, Johan Scheppers said: “We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with Birmingham Royal Ballet this Christmas.  It is a perfect collaboration for us since we both play such a key part in the city’s history and culture.”

“Our previous partnerships have included an exquisite Sleeping Beauty themed afternoon tea and a particular highlight was welcoming the ballerinas to the hotel for a photo shoot in our elegant, Parisian style bar, Madeleine.”

The Grand Hotel Birmingham first opened in 1879 before closing in 2001 and re-opening in 2021 following a 45 million refurbishment including the restoration of the stunning Louis XIV style ballroom.  Since the re-opening it has played host to royalty and rock stars, securing its place as the most luxurious hotel in Birmingham.

Birmingham Royal Ballet was established under Peter Wright in 1990 although its origins can be traced back to 1931. One of the world's great companies, it is a true powerhouse in classic ballet and contemporary dance, touring the UK and internationally but proudly rooted in Birmingham.
