World Dance Masters 2026 image

A full weekend of the best line dance instruction, live country music, and host of the World Line Dance Championships spread over three ballrooms in the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.

Ticket Types:

Social Dancing with Workshops - Adult & Child tickets that include access to all workshops, social dancing, and access to the Empress Ballroom to watch the Line Dance Championships whenever you want. This ticket includes access to the event from Thursday - Sunday but note that no social workshops and social dancing will take place on Thursday and will start with the pre-party on Thursday evening as an optional extra.

We ask that you select the ticket type for the room where you are likely to spend the most time. We don't restrict access to any ballroom under this ticket but we do like to manage the capacity in the rooms through this question as we know most people have a strong preference for a particular social room.

Backroads Boots Pass - Specifically tailored for Beginner/Improver dancers who are part of the Backroad Boots community. This pass will allow access to the event from Friday evening until Sunday evening. The pass can be collected from Friday late afternoon and gives social dancing access each evening in the Pavilion, plus access to workshops and to watch competition throughout the day in the other ballrooms.

Competitor with Workshops - Adult, Child, Starter, and Rugrats & Tiny Tots tickets that include access to all workshops and social dancing across the weekend. A Child ticket is for eligible dancers dancing in divisions below Young Adult. This ticket includes access to the event from Thursday - Sunday.

Competitor Only - Adult, Child, Starter, and Rugrats & Tiny Tots tickets do not include workshops or access to Spanish Hall & Arena when workshops are in session, including access to all ballrooms for evening social dancing. A Child ticket is for eligible dancers dancing in divisions below Young Adult. This ticket includes access to the event from Thursday - Sunday.

Spectator Tickets - General spectator tickets that do not include workshops and access to Spanish Hall & Arena when workshops are taking place. Including access to all ballrooms for evening social dancing. Includes access to Empress Ballroom for Competition at all times. This ticket includes access to the event from Thursday - Sunday.

Spectator Limited Mobility - This add-on is free for Spectators attending the event who have mobility issues (such as using a walking frame or requiring a guide stick due to visual impairment) and need extra time to enter the ballrooms. WDM will try to assist in making accommodations for the attendee to enter the ballrooms early.

Day Tickets - we do not sell Day Tickets for World Dance Masters in advance of the event. Day tickets are available to purchase on the door for spectators only.
