St Helens Gala Fest – the ultimate Family Fun Day is back, and it has a new home for 2025.

The HALO, a brand-new outdoor live events venue, located around the footprint of the Totally Wicked Stadium site, home of St.Helens R.F.C. will play host to the Gala Fest as its Grand opening, Saturday 30^th August.

In partnership with St.Helens R.F.C, The Steve Prescott Foundation presents a Family Fun Day extravaganza featuring six of the top Tribute Acts in the UK – It’s Not Sabrina (as Sabrina Carpenter), Vikki Earle ( as Taylor Swift), Laid (as James), The SouthMartins (as the Housemartins), Viva La Vida (as Coldplay), Definitely Oasis (as Oasis), as well as local DJ Eric McKenna.

Proudly sponsored by Bespoke Funding Solutions Ltd, event goers can also explore charity and craft stalls, thrilling attractions from Silcocks Funfair, meet AJ Mascots characters, enjoy festival food and drinks plus much, much more.

Tickets are available for eight hours of non-stop entertainment throughout the day.

A St.Helens R.F.C, spokesperson commented: “We are delighted to announce the first event to be held at the HALO, to take place later this Summer.

We have a strong and long-running relationship with the Steve Prescott Foundation and the St Helens Gala Fest was the ideal starting point to launch the HALO, for what we hope will be the first of many great events at the venue.

The Steve Prescott Foundation commented: “This landmark event marks a significant moment for the Foundation, as we become the first organisation to host an experience at The Halo. It is particularly poignant that this celebration will be held at the former club of our founder, the late Steve Prescott MBE. St.Helens R.F.C. has been a steadfast supporter of the Foundation since its inception, and we are honoured to further strengthen this enduring relationship through this collaboration.

The Gala promises a vibrant day of family-friendly entertainment, community engagement, and celebration, all set within a venue offering state-of-the-art facilities and a welcoming atmosphere for all.

As a Foundation, we are deeply committed to creating inclusive and meaningful events across the borough of St Helens.

We invite families, supporters, and the wider community to join us for what promises to be a memorable day of fun, entertainment, and togetherness—celebrating the legacy of Steve Prescott MBE and the impactful work of the Foundation.”
