Get ready for a unique international PMU event

Here's what we have in store for you... Live Models Innovation Connection Artistry

Step into one of the UK & Ireland’s most powerful events for PMU, SMP, and fine line artists — designed to elevate your skills, confidence, and career in just two days.

From our live, on-stage competition judged in real time, to hands-on masterclasses, expert-led education, and live demonstrations, every part of this experience is built for real growth — not just inspiration.

You won’t just watch… you’ll learn, implement, and leave with techniques you can confidently take straight to your clients.

With the opportunity to be recognised on an international stage — including progression to the World Finals in Italy— this is where artists step up, stand out, and take their next level seriously.

This isn’t just another event. It’s where confidence is built, skills are sharpened, and artists evolve.

Day 1
The Competition & Masterclass

We kick off The Queen’s Night 2026 with a full day dedicated to live competition, industry insight, and hands-on learning — creating the perfect balance between performance and progression.

Our international live competition now takes place entirely on Day 1, giving it the focus, energy, and recognition it truly deserves. Artists will compete across 12 categories, divided into Junior (0–3 years) and Expert (3+ years) levels, ensuring a fair and levelled playing field. This is more than a competition — it’s a platform to be seen, recognised, and celebrated at an international level.

Winners will be crowned at the Gala Dinner, with selected artists earning the opportunity to represent the UK & Ireland at the World Finals in Italy.

While the competition unfolds upstairs, downstairs offers a curated programme of inspiring talks and industry-led education. From mindset and confidence, to business growth and advanced treatments, these sessions are designed to support artists at every stage of their journey.

The afternoon shifts into what truly sets Queen’s Night apart — hands-on masterclass training. Led by leading artists, these sessions allow you to practice, refine, and receive real-time feedback, ensuring you don’t just watch techniques… you actually learn and implement them.

From ultra-realism brows to fine line artistry, this is where skill meets application — and where real growth happens.

We close Day 1 with time to network, connect, and explore our exhibitors, alongside a few fun moments and surprises to bring everyone together. Day 1 sets the tone for the entire weekend — combining competition, education, and hands-on experience in a way that leaves you inspired, confident, and ready for what’s next.

Day 2:
MASTERCLASS & Demonstrations

Day 2 is all about deepening your skills, expanding your knowledge, and celebrating excellence — bringing together education, inspiration, and recognition in one powerful day.

The day begins with a series of high-level masterclasses and educational sessions, designed to elevate both your technique and understanding of the industry. From combi brows and advanced treatments to pigment knowledge and skin science, each session is led by respected artists and experts who bring both experience and real-world insight.

This is your opportunity to continue building on what you’ve learned — gaining clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of your craft. Alongside practical learning, our talks are designed to strengthen your decision-making, knowledge, and long-term success as an artist.

Expect sessions that break down the why behind the work — from pigments and skin behaviour to treatment outcomes — helping you make more informed, confident choices with your clients.

In the afternoon, we move into our Live Demo Zone — where technique comes to life in real time. Watch leading artists perform in-depth demonstrations, sharing not just how they work, but why they make certain decisions throughout the treatment process.

This is your chance to observe:

  • Full workflows from start to finish
  • Real-time problem solving
  • Technique refinement and precision
  • Honest insights from experienced professionals

Ask questions, take notes, and see what truly goes into high-level artistry. Throughout the day, you’ll have time to network, connect with peers, and explore our exhibitors, discovering new products, tools, and opportunities within the industry.

Timings: 08:45 – 17:00

 

Day 2: Evening
Awards & Gala Night

We close the weekend in style with our Gala Dinner & Awards Ceremony — a night dedicated to celebrating talent, courage, and achievement. Competition winners will be announced and crowned live, with selected artists earning their place at the World Finals in Italy.

An evening of celebration, connection, and recognition — and the perfect ending to an unforgettable two days.
