Ritz Ballroom, Kings Heath, Music venue in Kings Heath, Birmingham, England
The Ritz Ballroom was a performance venue located on York Road featuring a spacious dance floor and stage for live entertainment. The building served multiple purposes throughout its existence before being destroyed by fire in 2013.
The site began as a ballroom in the 1960s when it hosted many notable musical acts. It later served as a cinema, bingo hall, and retail space before a fire ended its existence in 2013.
The venue served as a major gathering place for music lovers across the region who came to see international performers. It became an important spot in Birmingham's entertainment scene during its active years.
The venue no longer exists and cannot be visited in person. Those interested in the site's history can find information through local archives and museum collections in Birmingham.
The dance floor was crafted using wood sections from royal yachts, a remarkable feature that required temporary closure of Kings Heath High Street during installation. This distinctive flooring made the ballroom stand out from other entertainment venues.
