Britain's Got Talent auditions are back in Blackpool - here's everything you need to know

The iconic Winter Gardens in Blackpool is set to host the Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) Judge Auditions from October 10-17.

This marks the return of the popular ITV talent show to the historic venue, offering fans a chance to witness the magic of BGT live.

For the Britain's Got Talent 2026 series, auditions will be held in Blackpool, but for the 2025 series, the emphasis is on applying to perform live via the official Applause Store website, not open audition events in Blackpool.

Unlike the standard auditions, these sessions allow the public to become part of the action. Audience members will sit alongside hosts Ant & Dec and the celebrity judges, experiencing firsthand the excitement and energy of the auditions.

From singers and dancers to magicians and acrobats, attendees can expect a diverse range of performances showcasing the nation's talent.
