2026 UK Galaxy Pageants Highlights!
In March, we held the 2026 UK Galaxy Pageants at the Park Hall Hotel in Chorley. The UK Galaxy Pageants are known for being a tough competition and including some of the most glamourous contestants, and this year was no exception! We had the most amazing weekend with our 2026 finalists – getting to spend time with them during our famous activity day and watching them absolutely shine on stage. Every one of our finalists did so well and we could not be more proud of this group of incredible girls and women who represented the system.
Take a look below to catch up on the highlights from the 2026 UK Galaxy Weekend, courtesy of our AMAZING photographer, Brian Hayes!
Day 1!
We started off our weekend with our Learn The Ropes – Pageant Workshop, were we got to work closely with some of our UK Galaxy finalists as well as some finalists from our other pageant systems!
This group were all such fast learners and they walked out of the workshop feeling more confident and ready for the stage!

To end the first day, we held a quick meet up with anyone that wanted to join and meet the team and other contestants they would be sharing the stage with. A great way to settle in before the busy weekend ahead!
Day 2 – Activity Day!
On the Friday morning, we officially kicked off the weekend with Orientation, with our director, Holly Pirrie, giving a warm welcome speech to all of our lovely finalists. Our 2025 Queens also joined in on the fun, after an incredible year of reigning.
After a little pep talk from Holly, we had all of our finalists and queens get a big group photos together. One for the photo album!🫶
In the afternoon, we spent a couple hours manifesting our dreams on vision boards! We loved seeing everyone get crafty and it was amazing to hear our finalists talk about their dreams and goals. Although we know that everyone wanted the crown this weekend, we loved hearing about everyones lives outside of pagentry – from music to degrees to new homes and businesses. Keep manifesting girls! ✨
Day 2 – The White Party!
Even after a day of activities, the fun wasn’t over yet! On Friday night, we held our iconic White Party!💃
Historiaclly, the Galaxy White Party is exclusivley for Galaxy finalists and Queens, but this year we invited the whole of Pageant Land, and it made for an incredible night! How many pagenat system sashes can you spot?
A night of music, dancing and sweet treats is exactly what we needed before the hard work began!🧇
Day 3 – Junior, Teen and Miss Grand Finals!
On Saturday, our Junior, Teen and Miss divisions were up bright and early, ready to start rehearsing for their big night on stage!
Throughout the day, our finalists got to spend a few hours on stage with our incredible choreographer and host, Deone, to learn exactly what they would be doing during the grand finals. They were also taken for their individual interviews with the judges, where they got to talk about their time as finalist and what it would mean for them to win the UK Galaxy Pageants.👑
Then, we started our first night of grand finals! After our finalists hit the stage for Opening Number, Fashionwear, Swimwear (Miss division only) and Evening Wear. We crowned 3 new UK Galaxy Queens as well as appointing a new Queen to represent the UK in the Miss Pre-Teen division (a new division in the UK, for girls aged 9-11)! Take a look at the pictures from our fabulous day!

Day 4 – Ms and Mrs Grand Finals!
On the last day of the UK Galaxy weekend, we did it all over again, but with our Ms and Mrs divisions!
Again, Deone went through the staging with our finalists and we took them out of rehearsals, one by one to give them an opportunity to let the judges get to know them. The interview portion of the competition is vital to see who would make a good Queen and represent the UK well at the International Galaxy Pageants. ✈️
We crowned 2 new winners, who will join their sister queens on this trip to compete on an international stage! Take a look at the fabulous photos that our amazing photographer, Brian Heyes, took throughout the day.
