The Steve Prescott Foundation are delighted to announce that the PSD Vehicle Rentals SPF Celebrity Bowls, in association with Barton’s Pickles, will take place on Saturday 8th August 2026 — and this year the event will have a brand-new home.

Martin Blondel, General Manager of The Steve Prescott Foundation, said:
We are excited about this year’s event. Moving to the Unison/NALGO Club was a difficult decision, but ultimately the right one. It allows us to stage a more compact event, providing better facilities for both bowlers and guests while making full use of the concert room for entertainment throughout the day.
There will also be great food available, along with space for up to ten stalls, creating a fantastic atmosphere for everyone attending.
We would like to thank our fantastic sponsors PSD Vehicle Rentals, Barton’s Pickles and Glassbond North West for helping make the event possible.
To play alongside a celebrity, simply follow the Steve Prescott Foundation’s social media channels on the announcement dates above and place your bid.
The highest bidder for each celebrity will enjoy a memorable day playing alongside their favourite star from the worlds of Rugby League, Football or Entertainment. In addition, there will be a set of Taylor’s Bowls up for grabs, kindly donated once again by our friends at Glassbond North West.
Entry for spectators is completely free, although attendees are advised to arrive early as capacity is limited.
