Interesting Fact
On 07/08/22 I swam 100 laps in 75mins for my charity swim for BWAP! For the past 10 years my mother and I have been a part of the Indian Ladies club. It is a club which helps the Indian ladies diaspora in the UK mingle with one another and form beautiful friendships. A lot of the ladies who attend the events are elderly and have no family of their own in England. So when it comes to the big Indian festivals such as Diwali and Vaisakhi they have nobody to celebrate with. Therefore, as a club we try to hold events every year for these special festivals giving the ladies an opportunity to make beautiful memories with the other members and not feel alone. I attend every event so that I can show the ladies our generation of young Indian ladies have not forgotten them and want to maintain the link! This club has done wonders for the Indian ladies mental well being and I am proud to be a young Indian lady and a part of this wonderful club

What Is the Explore the Nation Round in Miss England

3 weeks ago

November 2025  Press release

See the 2025 ENTRIES TO THIS ROUND HERE 

During the pandemic, it’s hard to believe now, but the whole world came to a standstill. With travel restrictions in place and everyone grounded, we were all forced to slow down, rediscover our surroundings, and appreciate the places we call home.

While many events were cancelled, Miss England continued — virtually. Determined to keep the competition alive and bring some positivity amid the difficult times, Director Angie Beasley and her son Josh teamed up with international app developers Choicely to create the Miss England App.

“We were thinking of different ways we could still hold a competition despite everything that was happening — something positive for people to focus on instead of all the bad news,” says Angie.

And from that idea, a brand-new round was born: Explore the Nation.

With the support of The Video News Factory and its owner John Allard, contestants were invited to submit a short video — up to two minutes long — showcasing the best parts of where they live. From seaside towns and historic landmarks to hidden countryside gems, the videos gave a new appreciation for England’s incredible diversity.

“We thought this might even help attract future tourism,” Angie explains. “It’s a valuable way for contestants to appreciate their home and share it with others.”

Since then, Explore the Nation has become a permanent and much-loved feature of the Miss England contest — and Angie admits it’s now her personal favourite round.

What Do the Judges Look For?

Judges are looking for genuine enthusiasm, effort, and creativity. Contestants are encouraged to show off their personality and presenting style while highlighting what makes their hometown or city special.

It’s not just about scenic shots — it’s about storytelling with, pride, and personality.

Sponsored by Coco Moola & City Sightseeing

For 2025, the Explore the Nation round is proudly sponsored by Coco Moola and City Sightseeing, two brands that perfectly align with the round’s spirit of discovery and adventure.

Both brands are teaming up to give this year’s winner of this round a stay with excursions at the Holiday Inn Southwark in London, celebrating their passion for travel, culture, and exploration right in the heart of the capital.

Oxford Student Turns Banana fibre Into Eco-Friendly Sanitary Pad — Now Competing for Miss England Title

2 months ago

A 19-year-old Oxford student is breaking boundaries in both science and sustainability — by designing a revolutionary sanitary pad made from banana fibre.

Sidra Malik at Miss England will now represent Oxford in the final

Sidra Malik, who recently won the Wellness Innovation Award in the BIEA STEM competition, is now proudly representing her hometown as Miss Oxford in the two day Miss England 2025 National Final  on November 20th & 21st at the Grand Station Wolverhampton , where she plans to showcase her passion for sustainability in the competition’s popular Eco-Fashion Round.

 

Sidra’s award-winning design was inspired by the need to find environmentally friendly solutions to everyday products. The sanitary pad she developed is made from banana fibre — a natural, highly absorbent, and biodegradable material — providing a                                                                                                sustainable alternative to plastic-based pads that contribute to landfill and                                                                                                      microplastic pollution.

 “I have a deep passion for sustainability,” said Sidra. “The climate crisis is more prominent now than ever before, and I believe businesses and individuals should work in harmony with the environment to reduce harm rather than escalate it. My design offers an eco-friendly solution that’s not only better for the planet but also creates opportunities for developing countries to benefit from banana fibre production.”

Unlike conventional pads that take hundreds of years to decompose, Sidra’s innovation can be washed and reused multiple times or safely disposed of without damaging the environment. Banana fibre is widely available in developing nations, offering new possibilities for ethical trade and sustainable income.

Sidra’s next creative challenge will be at the Miss England Final on 20th & 21st November at The Grand Station, Wolverhampton, where she will enter her design into the Eco-Fashion Round, transforming waste materials into something beautiful and purposeful.

 “Carrying out this project was so rewarding,” Sidra said. “I got to explore how science and creativity can help solve global problems. Now I want to bring that same energy to the Miss England stage — proving that beauty and sustainability can go hand in hand.”

Miss England Director Angie Beasley added:

 “Sidra represents exactly what Miss England stands for — intelligence, innovation, and a Beauty with a Purpose.  Her idea is inspiring, and it’s fantastic to see young women using the platform to promote sustainability and women’s health in such a creative way. I wish Sidra the best of luck with her invention and in the Miss England final”

Embracity Authenticity, Purpose and Representation- meet Lisa Austin – Miss England’s Semi Final Bare Face winner

2 months ago

PRESS RELEASE –

Lisa Austin Wins Bare Face Top Model at Miss England Semi Final — Embracing Authenticity, Purpose and Representation
Lisa Austin, a 25-year-old high fashion model and influencer talent manager from London, has been crowned the Bare Face Top Model winner at the Miss England semi-final, fast-tracking her place in the Miss England  national final. Sponsored by Caesium Skin Clinic, Lisa’s powerful decision to go completely makeup-free — without filters, wigs, or extensions — resonated strongly with judges.
“Honestly, I didn’t think I was going to win. There were so many beautiful girls in the competition but I chose to be very intentional and strip it all back. As a woman of colour, it can be challenging to embrace natural beauty in a world shaped by Western standards, but I wanted to show young Black and Brown girls that they are beautiful just as they are,” Lisa shared.
While proud of the award, Lisa is determined to be remembered for more than her looks. After a successful international modelling career — landing her first campaign with Gucci at just 19 — she made the conscious decision to step away from full-time modelling to focus on projects with purpose.
Her Beauty With a Purpose project, Because I Can, aims to empower young people from working-class and disadvantaged backgrounds to break into the media industry. By equipping them with skills, confidence, and opportunities, Lisa wants to amplify unheard voices and challenge stereotypes, creating more inclusive and authentic representation in media.
Lisa’s story is one of resilience. Bullied at school for being “lanky” and “awkwardly thin,” traits later celebrated in the fashion industry, Lisa turned modelling into a tool not just for success but for survival. Following the sudden loss of her father and grandmother, modelling gave her focus, and her income helped support her mother and fund her education. Over time, Lisa’s curiosity led her to explore behind the camera, developing her skills in photography and videography — talents she showcased in the Miss England “Explore the Nation” round, which she produced and edited herself.
Reflecting on her Bare Face entry, Lisa said:
 “Normally, I enjoy getting ready and being glammed up, but this round was about vulnerability and authenticity. I took a simple photo at home, no filters, no studio lights. It reminded me that true beauty comes from courage and purpose.”
Alongside her advocacy, Lisa is sporty and active, with a background in athletics, and continues to train through sprinting and high jump. She is also passionate about health and personal growth, recently enrolling in cooking classes to improve her nutrition and wellbeing.
With her dual British-Nigerian heritage and council estate upbringing, Lisa hopes to be the first British-Nigerian with dual nationality to represent England at Miss World — proving that no matter your background, it is possible to rise, to be seen, and to inspire change.
“I want to show up on the Miss England stage not just because I am ‘beautiful,’ but because I am a woman with purpose,” Lisa said.
Lisa is taking part in the Miss England Grand Final on the 20th & 21st November 2025 at the Grand Station Wolverhampton .
The public vote starts 24th October at 12noon and supporters can download the app for free from the google play or app store
