About RnB Winter Ball

A winter evening built entirely around R&B, drawing a crowd who come dressed for it and ready to sing along from the first song. Thursday timings and a 6pm start make it an early-week treat rather than a weekend blowout, so expect a mix of after-work fans and those who have taken the night off entirely.

The bill leans on warmth and nostalgia in equal measure, with slower numbers landing as hard as the uptempo ones. It suits couples and groups alike, more sing-along than mosh pit.

Where to stay nearby

Bickenhill sits right beside the venue, just a kilometre away, and with ten hotels on our books it is the simplest option if you want to walk in and walk home. Meriden is a similarly short hop at around 5km, with a handful of hotels offering a quieter base without adding much travel time. Cheltenham is a genuine alternative only if you are building the night into a longer trip or the closer towns are full — it sits some 66km out, roughly an hour's drive, but makes up for the distance with 348 hotels to choose from. For a straightforward one-night visit, staying near Bickenhill or Meriden and driving or taking a short taxi to bp pulse LIVE is the easiest approach.

About bp pulse LIVE

An indoor arena within Birmingham's sprawling NEC complex, bp pulse LIVE hosts concerts, comedy and live events beside the exhibition halls on the city's eastern edge. The setting is a self-contained events campus, with on-site hotels, restaurants and lakeside walks rather than a traditional high street.

Birmingham International station and the nearby airport make arrivals straightforward, with fast trains into the centre. Booking a room on or near the complex lets you walk to the show and avoid the post-event car-park crawl.
