Ness Factor is a major fundraising event that raises valuable funds for Highland Hospice, a local charity that is close to the hearts of many across the Highlands.
Organised each year by dedicated supporter Lornagh Siegel, the event brings together talented local performers to raise vital funds for Highland Hospice. This year, ten individual performers will battle it out to be crowned the Ness Factor 2026 Star.
The grand final will take place on Saturday 28 November 2026 at the Drumossie Hotel in Inverness. The lucky winner will not only take home the coveted Ness Factor title but will also have the exciting opportunity to perform at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival the following summer.
The evening will also feature a special performance from our incredible 2025 winner, Jamie Cruickshank.
