The Big Bay Belt-Off

07/08/2026

Stairway to the Stars was proud to sponsor another fantastic local talent competition last week, The Big Bay Belt Off, created and hosted by Lizzie – the 2024 Stairway to the Stars Champion.
Seeing Lizzie go from winning our competition to producing her own successful talent show is exactly what Stairway is all about, and we couldn't be prouder of everything she has achieved- her competition ran like clockwork and the attention to detail was incredible.

As part of our commitment to supporting local talent, we partnered with The Big Bay Belt Off by offering the runners-up a place in the Stairway to the Stars Semi Finals, while the overall winners earned an automatic place in our Grand Final.

By finishing as runners-up in The Big Bay Belt Off, Evie & Piper have secured their place in the Stairway to the Stars Semi Finals for the Juniors and Layla for the Adults.

And the Big Bay Belt off Winners - Jess (for the Adults) & Jenson (for the Juniors) will head straight to the Stairway grand final on 6th Sept at the Palace theatre
We can't wait to welcome them to the Stairway stage! ⭐

Congratulations to all of the talented performers who performed in the Belt off on the Paignton festival stage - a fantastic competition by Lizzie
