2023 World Beard and Moustache Championships
Originally Scheduled for Saturday, April 10th, 2021
Auckland, New Zealand
After close consultation with our partners in the beard community around the world, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 World Beard & Moustache Championships.
Having spent the past couple of years preparing for the championships with our committee, team, venue and other event partners, we're genuinely upset and disappointed not to be able to host you at this time.
We want to thank everyone for your support, open discussions and encouragement. As everyone has been reminding us, great things happen when the community comes together. For this reason, WE FULLY INTEND TO HOST THE WORLD CHAMPS IN 2023.
We will be working hard to finalize the details and will share more information about our plans in the coming weeks.
While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, we take the safety and health of our guests, staff and community very seriously. We urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in our beautiful country in 2023.
Note: this will move the England WBMC to 2025.
Take care and be safe.
