Brighton’s Big Drag Pageant returns for another winter spectacular with a horrifying twist. This year, we’re celebrating the drop dead gorgeous as we host Brighton’s biggest, most glamorous alternative drag competition.

Calling all scream queens, vamps, witches and freaks. With a cast of ALL STAR contestants battling for a huge cash prize, infamous judges and surprises, it’s the winter season event to die for.

With high flying, jaw dropping performances and killer runways, this pageant has already gone down in drag history for bringing the best of Brightons unique and outrageous underground Drag Scene to the iconic Brighton Dome Concert Hall stage.

Dress to impress! Think Ghouls in Gowns, Gothic Glamoure and Camp Krampus, but keep it chic: remember, the Devil wears Prada.

Hosted by Alfie Ordinary
