UK's National Miss - Pageant Girl

UK’s National Miss is a pageant with a difference. It pairs the polish and spectacle of a traditional competition with chances to build confidence and pick up practical, real-world skills — all wrapped up in the atmosphere of a big weekend away with friends.

The competition was founded in 2020, during the UK’s Covid-19 lockdown, by Holly Pirrie, director of Pageant Girl Ltd. After weighing up what else the British pageant scene could offer, she launched the event. The result keeps the glamour of a pageant while adding team-building activities and more opportunities to make lasting memories.
