Comic Relief launches first ever Design-Yer Nose for Red Nose Day 2026
Kids can customise this year’s Red Nose as Comic Relief unveils its first ever Design-Yer Nose, on sale now.
This year, Red Nose Day is getting a crafty twist. For the first time ever, Comic Relief has launched a fully customisable Red Nose, giving families the chance to decorate their own and truly make it personal.
The new Design-Yer Nose is on sale now for £2.50, exclusively via Amazon, the official Home of the Red Nose. And with Red Nose Day returning on Friday 20 March 2026, it is the perfect half-term or rainy weekend activity with a feel-good purpose.
What is the Design-Yer Nose?
The Design-Yer Nose keeps its classic red, squishy look, but comes as a blank canvas ready for pens, paint, stickers or whatever your little ones dream up.
It is designed to get both kids and grown-ups involved, encouraging everyone to “Take Yourself Funny for Money” while raising funds for people facing hunger, homelessness and harm in the UK and around the world.
Every Nose is soft, plastic-free and made from plant-based materials, making it a more planet-conscious option for families.
Stars show off their creations
A host of famous faces have already put pen to Nose, including Jodie Whittaker, Natalie Cassidy, Ellie Taylor, Rosie Jones and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey.
Mum-of-one and comedian Ellie Taylor embraced the messy fun, saying: "The Design-Yer Nose is exactly my kind of activity - messy, creative and meaningful! As a mum, I love anything that helps kids get creative while also teaching them about kindness and giving back. I had heaps of fun designing a rainbow on my Nose for my kids, and can't wait for them to get stuck in too."

Rosie Jones added: "I love Red Nose Day because it proves that being silly can make a serious difference and it brings people together through laughter in so many ways. Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to experience it all with Comic Relief – the fun, the daftness, the creativity, and seeing how much it helps to change lives. This year’s Design-Yer Nose is all those things rolled into one – how could I resist?"
Jodie Whittaker celebrated the individuality of the idea, saying: “The Design-Yer Noses are such a brilliant idea because you can make them completely individual, and show off your artistic flair.”
Meanwhile, Natalie Cassidy kept things simple with a powerful message: “I decided to write "Be kind" on my Nose, because Comic Relief is all about kindness.”
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey drew inspiration from family life, explaining: “I chose to design a unicorn Nose for my daughter, because they're amazing creatures, aren't they? And she’ll love it.”
Mr Doodle designs limited-edition range
Alongside the Design-Yer Nose, Comic Relief has partnered with artist Mr Doodle on a special collection of Noses and accessories in his signature black-and-white doodle style.
Fans can also shop bucket hats and pin badges featuring his instantly recognisable designs.
Mr Doodle said: "I’ve always believed that drawing should be fun, playful and something that makes you feel good, so it's been amazing to partner with Comic Relief this Red Nose Day and design my own range of doodled Noses - and I can't wait to see all the different ways people get creative with their own Design-Yer Noses too. There's something really special about turning art into something that can genuinely help people, and the best bit is anyone can do it. So grab your Nose from Amazon and get doodling!"

Where does the money go?
Money raised from Red Nose Day helps support people facing hunger, homelessness and harm, both in the UK and around the world. Funds help provide essentials such as food, safe places to sleep and protection for those at risk.
Samir Patel, CEO of Comic Relief, said: “For decades we’ve seen the beloved Red Nose shapeshift through a host of unique styles, characters and textures, proudly worn on the end of the nation’s own noses. This Red Nose Day we wanted to put the creativity directly into the hands of the public.
