Opie’s Beard Co Beard & Moustache Championships

13/06/2024

This year's total raised for Daisy's Dream was just under £1000 but we decided to round it up to the thousand pound mark 🙂

The total raised this year reflects the current climate but ourselves and the charity are happy that we were able to raise this amount given the difficulty many face financially at the moment.

Over the last three years we have managed to raise a total of £4397.17 for Daisy's Dream which has made a massive difference to the live of young people. We could not have raised this amount without the wonderful people at Loddon Brewery

We'd also like to thank everyone who attended and donated towards the raffle, bingo or just gave a donation.

After a great day of bearding yesterday we wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who came to support us.

We appreciate that times are hard for people at the moment and finances are even harder which we understand is a big factor in our slightly lower numbers this year.

Myself and Laura love putting on a comp every year and seeing all our friends from the bearding community enjoying themselves and having fun which is what it's all about and working with Loddon Brewery is also an absolute pleasure as is helping support Daisy's Dream in the great work they are doing.

So thank you to everyone who attended yesterday we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did ❤️

Our new Carrion Crows scent will be available first at this weekend's Opie’s Beard Co Beard & Moustache Championships With Oils and butters available and then online next week.

This scent is absolutely amazing with the zing of the Ylang Ylang and the manliness of the Patchouli with Citronella and Juniper berry adding another level it's truly a unique scent that blends so well together

We are excited to announce that we’ll be joined this year by the fantastic Matt Sills photographer and director.

Matt’s work is amazing and in his spare time he enjoys travelling around with world to capture Elvis impersonators doing there thing. Matt is keen to explore the quirky world of bearding so I think he’ll be pleasantly surprised with what he sees 😀

Give Matt a follow on instagram to see his work.

JUDGE ANNOUNCEMENT
Head Brewer Tara did such a great jib last year and enjoyed judging so much that she's agreed to jump behind the judges table again this year 🙂

As the Head brewer at LLoddon BreweryTara gives a unique perspective when judging as she is unaware of the titles that each competitor may or may not have from their competitive bearding journey. We believe this makes her the perfect person to judge at this years event.

Beard competitions are not just about flaunting our facial fuzz and drinking copious amounts of beer but also raising money for good causes 🙂

Every beard competition has a charity element to it to help support those that need it the most. Our chosen charity Daisy's Dream helps to support kids through bereavement and through the trauma of a loved one suffering from terminal illness. As a small charity every penny counts and we are proud to be supporting such a great charity 😀

Every year we always get a few people that buy spectator tickets because they are too nervous about competing but then once they’ve seen how easy it is they then wished they’d competed 🙂

Like I’ve always said “You only get one life so don’t let your nerves stop you from doing things you can look back on with fond memories”

It's with deepest regrets to announce the tragic passing of Mr Mick Theobald 😓 Mick competed at our event last year with his Beard Mobb brothers & sisters and was loved across the community.

Rest in peace Mick

We've been asked a few times this year about beard measurements and why it's a thing so here's a little something explaining 🙂

22 days to go 😀

30/04/2024

Who said bearding was just for the men? We love to see the amazing creations that the kids and ladies work extremely hard to put together for our event.

We are excited to see what kind of creative beards grace our stage this year 😃

29/04/2024

We have been asked a few times about this subject so wanted to clarify it a bit better.

If you have any questions please post them in the comments 🙂 Also can you guess the beardsman?

28/04/2024

Ever wondered how beards are judged? Well below we explain how our judges judge the beards and moustaches at our event.

We should say that every event may judge differently depending on how they would like to run their event so it's important to clarify this with the event organisers before you compete.

Can anyone guess the person being judged in the picture from last years event?
