Blackpool has become home to a most unlikely British champion.
Brian Eva’s wild whiskers won him first prize in the full natural beard category at the British Beard Championships – making his impressive mane officially the best in the country.
Blackpool’s biggest and bushiest beards are taking to the national stage in a bid to be crowned British champions.
The Sandgrown Beardsmen – Blackpool’s own bunch of beard enthusiasts – will be competing in the British Beard and Moustache Championships in Liverpool in October.
Brought together by a shared passion for facial hair – meet Blackpool’s most unusual social club.
The Sandgrown Beardsmen sees beard-lovers from across the resort gather for drinks and chit-chat every month at the Church Street Barber Shop in central Blackpool.
