Forest Holme Hospice Charity is excited to announce ticket details for its highly anticipated Strictly Extravaganza, which will take place on Saturday 25th January 2025 at the Lighthouse, Poole. The evening promises to be a dazzling celebration of dance, featuring an array of glitz, glamour, and "fab-u-lous" performances inspired by the popular TV show.
The event will see 10 amateur participants, drawn from a public call for entries and teamed up with professional dancers, hit the dance floor with the hope of waltzing off with the converted glitterball trophy.
Championship pro dancer Oliver Beardmore, who recently shared a stage touring with Strictly duo Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington, leads a group of international professional dancers from the world of Latin and ballroom, each offering their time for free with months of lessons and rehearsals before performing on the big night.
The evening, which is sponsored by Colten Care, will be hosted by experienced local compère Paul Kinvig and will offer guests a chance to experience a night of show-stopping entertainment while supporting the vital work of Forest Holme Hospice Charity, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
A winner will be chosen by a panel of judges from the dance world including Jason Edwards, the champion of a similar competition held by Forest Holme last year.
Tickets are available now for a table (either 10 guests per table or individual places available) which includes a Champagne reception, 3 course gala dinner and wine, plus a voting card and entertainment throughout the evening.
Claire Cooper, Fundraiser at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said, “We are thrilled to be bringing the glitz and glamour of Strictly to life at Lighthouse. Every step taken on that dance floor will help raise vital funds for Forest Home and we are deeply grateful to everyone who is helping to make this event sparkle.”
