The countdown is on for one of the most glamorous events of the year! The Miss
England National Final 2025 is returning to the magnificent Grand Station,
Wolverhampton on Thursday 20th & Friday 21st November, for two unforgettable days of beauty, purpose, and inspiration.

showcasing not only her outer beauty but her purpose and passion too.
Midlands Pride at Home

a law graduate , Miss East Midlands Grace Richardson, a musical theatre student from Leicester & Miss Leicester Aliza Kanerawala!
All four young women say they are thrilled to represent their cities in this year’s final
hosted in the midlands each with their own unique story and platform to inspire others.
Two Days of Glamour and Purpose
The 2025 Miss England final will include these spectacular themed rounds:
1950s Hollywood Glamour Ethical Fashion Show – in association with
WeDoEthical.org Contestants will model sustainable, pre-loved and ethically sourced outfits in a dazzling vintage-inspired show on day one

Beauty with a Purpose
At the heart of the Miss England ethos is “Beauty with a Purpose,” a global initiative
founded by Miss World’s Julia Morley. Each contestant raises funds and awareness
for charitable causes, showing that compassion and community spirit are as important as catwalks and crowns.
Over the past few years the contestants have raised thousands of pounds every year
to various causes such as Wolverhampton “Balls to Cancer” charity , Papyrus
(Suicide Prevention) charity , and the Miss World Charity Beauty with a Purpose,
which helps disadvantaged youngsters across the world— a tradition that continues this year with more inspiring campaigns led by the finalists.
The Grand Finale – Red Carpet & Crowning Ceremony
The excitement reaches its peak on Friday 21st November evening, when the new
Miss England 2025 will be crowned following glamorous red-carpet drinks reception
and sumptuous dinner inside the stunning Grand hall at Grand Station.
The winner will go on to represent England at the 73rd Miss World, scheduled to
take place in the spring of 2026, competing among over 100 nations on the world stage.
“The Grand Station Wolverhampton is the perfect place to hold the Miss England
Final,” said Angie Beasley, Director of Miss England Limited. “It’s a beautiful, historic
venue right in the heart of the Midlands — central, accessible and full of character.
The facilities are excellent, and the Grand Station team are always a pleasure to work with.”
