Blackpool, one of the UK’s most iconic seaside towns, is where classic British beach charm meets eccentric international flair. With its famous tower, vintage trams, and lively promenade, this Lancashire resort has long been a favourite for holidaymakers. But in 2027, Blackpool is set to make history with a stylish splash—as the proud host of the World Moustache & Beard Championships.

From 13th–16th August 2027, the town will welcome facial hair enthusiasts from across the globe. Expect finely groomed moustaches, gravity-defying beards, and a celebration of self-expression like no other. The event will take place at the stunning Winter Gardens, a grand venue perfect for such a prestigious (and fabulously hairy) gathering.
