Presented by RuPaul and the makers of RuPaul’s Drag Race, World of Wonder, RuPaul’s DragCon UK is officially ru-turning in 2023. The second iteration of the UK convention is set to be the biggest and fiercest year yet, taking place from Friday 6th January to Sunday 8th January 2023.
The convention will be hosted at its new home, the ExCeL centre in London and will feature - for the very first time - a full three-day event for drag fans to enjoy. Tickets for the event go on sale from 15th May 2022 at https://uk.rupaulsdragcon.com/
The London event will include signings and meet & greets with Queens; mainstage performances throughout the weekend; exclusive panels and programming; merch; and immersive activations from RuPaul’s Drag Race and fan-favorite WOW Presents Plus shows.
“2020 feels like a lifetime ago, and we are so thrilled to be bringing our flagship in-person event back to the community we love so dearly - this time for three full days of programming!” say World of Wonder Co-Founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey. “The 2023 convention at ExCeL London will officially be our biggest convention in the UK to date. Our top priority will of course be everyone’s safety, as we bring drag excellence to London once more.”
DragCon UK’s first priority is always the health and safety of everyone involved. Given how quickly information and safety requirements surrounding COVID-19 have been changing, specific COVID guidelines will be determined closer to the event.

The three-day RuPaul’s DragCon UK event will be a family-friendly celebration of drag for all ages, featuring vendors; exhibitors; panel and Q&A sessions. It will also include appearances from Drag Race royalty, including RuPaul, and other iconic drag superstars.
