British Red Hatters Convention is held every year at the beginning of October hosted by a Registered Chapter which volunteers to do so. Volunteers are called for early in the year and the announcement of the following year's host chapter is announced around May/June. If more than one chapter volunteers, it then goes to a vote. All members of officially registered chapters are welcome to attend.
The 2020 UK Convention was cancelled due to Covid. Full refunds payable.
As regards 2021, we are hoping that this can be hosted at Potters by Sharon Queen Pink Fizz but if Potters are still unable to host an event like ours a suitable alternative venue will hopefully be found. As soon as any information is forthcoming this will be officially emailed to all UK Queens. Please do not listen or contribute to gossip/misinformation on social media!
