Strictly Come Dancing Trip – Customer Review

A Passenger’s Experience with Jones Holidays

The following blog is based on a review from a passenger who travelled with Jones Holidays on one of our recent day trips. We love sharing real experiences from our customers, and this one truly captures what made the day so special.

A Truly Superb Afternoon at the Show ✨


From the moment we took our seats, we knew we were in for something special. We were seated in Block 104, just 11 rows from the front, and the view was absolutely superb — close enough to feel part of the action without missing a single detail.


The show itself was nothing short of excellent. Amazing, fabulous, and thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. We were incredibly lucky to see all the couples on the tour, especially as we’d heard that some couples were unable to appear at every performance due to prior commitments. That alone made the experience feel extra special.


The real icing on the cake was seeing Nikita and Layton, who weren’t competing but still treated us to two of their iconic dances. It was an unforgettable highlight and brought the house down.


The professional dancers supported many of the routines, adding even more energy and polish to each performance. The costumes were gorgeous, with some impressively quick costume changes that kept the momentum going throughout the show. Even the judges joined in with the dancing, which added a fun and unexpected element. All in all, it made for a truly superb afternoon of entertainment.


One thing worth noting is that there is quite a lot of walking involved once you’re inside the arena. I don’t think some people realised just how far you may need to go to reach your seats, so it’s something to be mindful of.


Parking was well handled — our driver parked as close as he could — overall, the entire experience felt like excellent value for money.


I would highly recommend this day trip to anyone considering it. A fantastic show, great organisation, and memories that will last long after the final dance.
