The North East's Regional Qualifier for Miss England and Miss World Is Back For 2026
After nearly a decade away, Newcastle and the North East's official regional qualifier for Miss England and Miss World is back. Miss Newcastle is bringing glamour, purpose and opportunity to the North East.
​
As the official regional qualifier for Miss England, this prestigious competition offers ambitious women from Newcastle and the surrounding areas of the North East the chance to take their first step onto the national - and potentially international - stage, with the ultimate pathway to Miss World.
​
Celebrating confidence, community and modern womanhood, Miss Newcastle is about far more than beauty alone. It's a platform for strong, driven women to use their voice, champion causes close to their hearts, and proudly represent the North East on one of the biggest pageant stages in the world.
