About this event
Ever wondered what it really takes to win the crown? Spoiler alert: it’s rarely a straight line.
Join us for Sashes & Setbacks, a live panel event lifting the lid on the reality behind pageant success. From years of “not this time” to the moment they finally heard their name called, five incredible national titleholders will be sharing their journey to the crown including the setbacks they had to overcome to get there.
Featuring:
- Christina Chalk – Miss Universe Great Britain 2024
- Larissa Hirst – Ms Great Britain 2023/24 and Miss GB Dorset Director
- Debbie Hughes – Ms Great Britain Classic 2024/25
- Dionne John - Mrs Galaxy UK 2025
- Paige Greig – Mrs UK World 2025
We might even be adding another UK queen to our panel, to be confirmed closer to the time, so keep your eyes pealed for more details.
Whether you're a contestant, a queen-in-waiting or just someone who loves the grit behind the glam, this is your chance to hear what it really takes to win the crown.
🎟 Tickets are £5 (plus the Eventbrite fee) with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK and A-Sisterhood.
