Receipts! Proof! Timeline! London! Real Housewives stars announced for inaugural Hayu fan event in the capital

Get ready reality TV fans, as Hayu is bringing its biggest stars across the Atlantic for an exciting new event: Hayu FanFest.

The inaugural fan-focused experience will take place in London on Saturday October 26 and promises to be a must-attend event for lovers of the streaming platform’s biggest shows.

Hosted at Magazine London, the event will unite reality TV enthusiasts and their favourite on-screen personalities for an evening of unforgettable moments, including exclusive live panels, meet-and-greets, and an epic after-party to cap off the night.

Leading the star-studded lineup is Emmy Award-winning host and executive producer of The Real Housewives franchise, Andy Cohen.

Cohen will be joined by a host of stars from the Real Housewives franchise, including Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Lisa Barlow, RHOP star Ashley Darby as well as RHOBH’s Sutton Stracke as well as star of the rebooted RHONY Jessel Taank.

However, it’s not all about the Housewives.

Below Deck’s Captain Sandy Yawn will be stepping onto dry land for the event alongside Southern Charm’s gruesome twosome Craig Conover and Austen Kroll.

Speaking about the inaugural event, Olga Puzanova, SVP Marketing for Hayu & International Direct-To-Consumer, NBCUniversal, shared her excitement: "It’s all happening at Hayu, and we’re thrilled to bring reality TV royalty to London this October.

“With reality TV fandom at the heart of everything we do, we can’t wait to offer our UK fans unprecedented access to their favorite stars at Hayu FanFest.”

The event, which marks its first of its kind in Europe, follows the disappointment from fans after BravoCon was put on hold for 2024, with plans to return to Las Vegas in November next year.

Last year’s BravoCon drew 27,000 attendees and featured over 160 network stars, including cast members from Vanderpump Rules and Summer House.

Tickets for Hayu FanFest go on sale Wednesday September 4 at 9am and are priced at £4.99, the cost of a subscription to the streaming service in the UK.

They’re available on a first-come, first-served basis at fanfest.hayu.com.
