RuPaul's DragCon UK 2025 is bringing over 200 “Drag Race” queens and fans from around the globe to ExCeL London this weekend. 

Attendees can look forward to non-stop performances on the Main Stage, live tapings, after-hours parties and the iconic Queen's Walk, which kicks off the event on Friday morning. The convention also offers a unique shopping experience with a variety of drag-inspired fashion brands, art, collectibles, and more. There are also plenty of opportunities to meet and greet your favourite queens, with the likes of Alyssa Edwards, Sasha Velour, and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo all in attendance.

Serving as a dazzling celebration of drag culture, DragCon UK promotes inclusivity, acceptance, and self-love, inviting fans to embrace their true selves in a supportive space, with this year's edition is likely to be particularly poignant in light of the shock passing of 2019 “Drag Race UK” winner The Vivienne.
