Strictly Inverness returns in 2027, bringing even more sparkle, spectacle and show‑stopping talent to the Highland capital. This year promises a brand new line-up of local stars ready to take to the floor, raise the roof, and raise vital funds for Highland Hospice and Inverness Ice Centre.

Since its launch in 2010, the event has now generated over £3 million for two much‑loved local charities, a testament to the passion, generosity and spirit of the Highland community.

Thursday 20th and Friday 21st May - Strictly Inverness Heats

Eight couples perform two individual dances on Thursday and Friday nights, plus a group dance in front of an audience and panel of judges. Each evening we announce the top four ranked couples, based on a combination of the judges’ scores, votes placed by the audience and fundraising efforts. These eight successful couples will go through to Saturday’s Grand Finale.

The top four couples from Thursday and Friday nights’ events battle it out to see who will be crowned the overall champions of Strictly Inverness 2027.
