Scotland’s Beard Festival upgrades to a 2-Day Event for 2025

Braw Beard, Scotland’s pioneering beard care company, is thrilled to announce the return of its celebrated Beard and Moustache International Championship. The 7th annual event will take place on Saturday, 15th February 2025, at the iconic Drygate Brewery in Glasgow.

Next month, we will see the Beard Festival upgrade to a 2 day event called the Braw Beard Weekender for the first time. 

Night 1 on Friday, 14th February, will feature a live in-person chat show hosted by comedian Billy Kirkwood and Braw Beard founder John Jackson with four special guests:

• International and Isle of Man TT motorcycle racer Jamie Coward
• Professional wrestler and actor Jack Jester
• Musician, Cammy Barnes
• Artist and author, Tragic O’Hara

Night 2 on Saturday, 15th February, will showcase the beard and moustache competition with 13 categories, the Best Fake Beard and the Over 12” Beard and Freestyle categories continue to be crowd favourites, showcasing incredible creativity and grooming skills.

Building on the success of previous years, the 2025 championship is set to feature a diverse international line-up, with competitors hailing from the USA, Germany, Belgium, and Norway. This global participation underscores the event’s stature as a not-to-miss gathering in the international beard and moustache community.

Braw Beard continues its tradition of supporting meaningful causes, partnering with Chris’s House Suicide Awareness charity for the 3rd time, reflecting its commitment to social responsibility. 

Chris’s House said: “We are delighted to have been chosen as the Charity to benefit from your annual raffle. We are a small charity that relies solely on donations, this means that every penny raised is vital to ensure that our services continue to run supporting the local community.”

The championship will culminate with a live music performance by the popular Scottish rock band, In Charge. In addition, attendees can look forward to exclusive products: a limited edition Braw Beard oil, with only 100 individually numbered bottles available, and a unique Brawtherhood lager, a collaboration between Braw Beard and Drygate Brewery.

John Jackson, the founder of Braw Beard and the brainchild behind the championships, maintains his pivotal role in orchestrating the event.

This year, the festivities will be hosted by renowned Scottish comedian Billy Kirkwood, guaranteeing an atmosphere filled with humour and camaraderie.

Tickets for the championship are selling fast and are expected to be a sell-out, mirroring the success of previous years. Interested attendees are encouraged to secure their tickets promptly at www.thebrawbmc.com

The Braw Beard and Moustache Championship is renowned for its relaxed, fun, and feel-good atmosphere, making it a unique and anticipated event in Scotland’s cultural calendar.
