The World Mascot Championship, sponsored by Game King, returned for Blue Light Weekend 2026, bringing a riot of colour, chaos and larger-than-life characters to its new home in the Memorial Gardens.

 

A host of mascots went head to head in a series of hilarious challenges as they competed for the championship title, while raising money and awareness for good causes. 

 

This year's winner was Hornsea Inshore Rescue's HIRBi bear! Congratulations to him 👏👏
