About The Strongman Open 2026

Expect atlas stones, log presses and truck pulls, judged event by event until a champion is confirmed. Crowds tend to be knowledgeable, following totals and technique as closely as the spectacle itself.

Where to stay nearby

Birmingham sits right by the arena, making it the simplest base for a Saturday evening session with no travel to worry about afterwards. Solihull is a short trip out and offers a quieter alternative with good road links back into the city. Cheltenham is further afield but has a much larger range of hotels, so it's worth considering if Birmingham and Solihull are booked up or pricier that weekend.

Birmingham — about 1 km away

Birmingham is 1km from the venue, putting you in the heart of the action. With 101 hotels to choose from, you'll find options at every budget, and the arena is walkable or a very short taxi ride from most city-center locations.

Cheltenham — about 65 km away

Cheltenham is 65km south and appeals to those exploring the Cotswolds or seeking a charming market-town base. The drive to the venue takes roughly 90 minutes; regular train services link Cheltenham to Birmingham, though the station is not adjacent to the arena, so you'll need onward transport.
