Red Nose Day is back in 2024 and Comic Relief has selected the 15th of March to celebrate. This means you still have a few weeks to get your hands on a red nose and help spread laughter whilst raising money for an important cause.

This year, Comic Relief have designed four new red nose characters for people to collect, as well as the return of the rare ‘Golden Hooter’. When you buy a red nose, you’ll randomly be sent one of either Gigglesworth, McChortles, Smirklethorpe, or Lol E Pops.

There’s also a one in 166 chance that you’ll be sent the ‘Golden Hooter’, a nose plated with 24-carat gold. This year’s red noses are all made from plant-based materials, so after Red Nose Day they can be recycled.

Each red nose costs just £2 and there’s also merch available to buy, like Red Nose Day-themed bottles, hats, t-shirts and badges, all bound to bring smiles to people’s faces. The money you spend on a red nose and other merch will be used to support Comic Relief in its mission to alleviate the challenges communities face both here in the UK and abroad.

The red noses, although small, are used as a reminder by Comic Relief to show that “even the littlest of things can make a huge difference”. They help Comic Relief fight poverty and injustice and strive for equality. Last year, the sale of red noses helped contribute to over £35 million being raised for the charity on Red Nose Day.

If you want to buy a red nose, encourage friends and family to giggle, and raise money for an important cause, we’re here to tell you exactly how to get your hands on one. The only thing we can’t tell you how to do is win a Golden Hooter.
