Our version of Strictly Come Dancing is back in March 2026! Dancers will compete to fundraise for Dr Kershaw’s at the exciting new venue of Vermilion in Manchester.
Buy your tickets for Dr Kershaw’s Strictly 2026
Our popular Dr Kershaw’s Strictly event will be on Friday 13th March 2026 from 7pm, and we are excited to announce that tickets are on sale now!
Last year, the sold-out dance competition raised over £53,000 and we are hoping to raise even more to support patients and their families. Held at a brand-new location of Vermilion in Manchester, the glamorous evening will include a welcome drink upon arrival, delicious canapés and a two-course meal, and a ticket to watch the show.
This year’s theme is ‘Dancing through the Decades’, so you could enjoy anything from the Charleston to the tango. Watch as eight couples compete before a live judging panel. Plus there will be live entertainment, an auction and a raffle.
We will be introducing our 2026 dancers on our social media very soon. In the meantime, you can sponsor them online via JustGiving or support them by buying a ticket to our event.
Dr Kershaw’s Strictly 2025 highlights
Dr Kershaw’s Strictly 2025 raised over £53,000, making a huge difference for patient care. We couldn’t have done it without our amazing celebrity judging panel, an audience of almost 500 people, and our incredible dance teachers.
Jack Warburton and Katie Gough were crowned the winners after wowing judges with a jive from the Blues Brothers. The runner-up couple was Amanda Cunningham and Oldham Athletic legend Frank Rothwell, who performed a gag-laden Salsa mashup from Jersey Boys.
