Ayrshire Does Strictly 2024

A number of familiar faces around Ayrshire have waltzed into the starting lineup for this year’s ‘Ayrshire Does Strictly’ competition in support of the Killie Community.

The charity event returns for 2024, uniting a team of Ayrshire’s well-known personalities to raise funds for Kilmarnock FC’s charity initiatives across a night of glitz and glamour at the Park Hotel on Saturday 28^th September.

Former Killie player Tom Callaghan will swap the football boots for dancing shoes as he bids to raise as much as possible for a good cause.

Limited tickets are on sale now and include a drink upon arrival, three-course meal, and end-of-evening music from The Kilted DJ. Premier tables have sold out, but standard tables remain available.
