LABBS Convention

Harrogate
31st October - 2nd November 2025

 

Our 2025 Convention will be held at Harrogate Convention Centre

Online Registration is now open!.

 
We are planning for a full convention experience including contests, show, education events and a marketplace.

This event will provide opportunity to reconnect with friends and fellow singers for a HUGE celebration of our community and hobby. 
 
There will be full quartet semi and finals contest rounds as usual, for all Women's and Mixed qualifying quartets from Prelims, as well as the full chorus contest, with opportunities for non-competing choruses to perform to the most supportive audience anywhere.

Come back soon for more details of the schedule, other activities taking place and special guests.

What is Convention?

Convention is an annual opportunity for all members, family, and friends to get together.  It is essentially a chance for quartets and choruses to compete in a supportive and friendly way and is often a riot of colour and complex choreography.

In addition to competition, Convention also includes a schedule of education sessions led by our own education team, often supported by external educators and our VIP guests.  All of this is topped off with a fabulous show, showcasing our new champions and amazing guests.
 
As if that wasn't enough, each evening sees an opportunity to Afterglow - a traditional end to any barbershopping day when singers and guests meet to chat and sing until the early hours - with old friends and new.

The event is open to all, with the opportunity to drop in for a day or be immersed in both competition and education sessions for a full fun-packed 3 day weekend.
