You can usually buy red noses online and in a few big retail chains, especially around Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day in March each year.

Quick Scoop: Where to buy red noses

1. Main places to buy (especially in the UK)

Around Red Nose Day 2025 and similar recent years, red noses have mainly been sold:

  • Amazon – Official Comic Relief red noses, including single noses and multipacks.
  • Comic Relief online shop – Sells the official nose designs, collector packs, and fundraising merch.
  • TK Maxx – Physical stores and website often stock Red Nose Day T‑shirts and sometimes related merch; some forum users mention TK Maxx and Amazon as the current go‑tos when supermarkets don’t have them.

In earlier years, physical retailers like Sainsbury’s and Oxfam sold the noses, but these are now listed as “formerly” selling them—so they’re not the primary option anymore.

2. If you want official Comic Relief noses

For the classic charity Red Nose Day look:

  1. Check the Comic Relief shop online first (especially close to Red Nose Day in March).
  1. Look on Amazon for “Comic Relief red nose” – you’ll usually see the current year’s official design, plus:
 * Single nose (~£2.50 in 2025).
 * Collector pack (multiple surprise characters).
 * Schools or group multipacks (e.g., boxes of 30).
  1. Around the same time, check TK Maxx for Red Nose Day‑branded clothing and sometimes related items.

These purchases still support Comic Relief when bought as the official, branded products.

3. Second‑hand or older‑year red noses

If you’re happy with older designs or want to collect past versions:

  • eBay – Common place to find previous‑year noses and bundles.
  • Vinted – Sometimes has used or unwanted noses from recent years.

These are good if you’re collecting or need lots cheaply for costumes, but check listings for condition and hygiene (they’re often foam or cardboard).

4. Costume / performance red noses (non‑Comic‑Relief)

If you just need a clown‑style red nose (for theatre, cosplay, kids’ parties):

  • Etsy shops such as “RedNoseFactory” sell reusable, performance‑grade clown noses that self‑attach and are designed for performers.
  • General costume sites and party shops (local or online) also sell plastic or foam red noses, often year‑round (search for “clown red nose” or “costume red nose”).

These won’t be branded as Comic Relief noses but are often more durable and comfortable for repeated use.

5. Quick mini‑guide (step‑by‑step)

If your question is simply “where to buy red noses” right now:

  1. If you’re in the UK and it’s near March:
    • Go straight to Comic Relief’s shop or Amazon for the current official nose.
  1. If it’s off‑season or you want many cheap noses :
    • Try eBay or Vinted.
  1. If you want a reusable performer’s nose :
    • Look at Etsy (e.g., RedNoseFactory) or other costume retailers online.
