Each celebrity will be auctioned off over a five day period starting on Monday 4th July with the highest public bidder getting the chance to play with the Celeb with the opportunity to win the coveted Lol Pennington Cup.

Johnny Vegas said “I am delighted that once along we can renew rivalries that we never knew existed in memory of my father! We have a great line up with more entertainment for all including the After Party. It is also the time to remember the great man Steve Prescott and continue his great legacy!
This year, we are giving every community or charitable group within the borough of St Helens the opportunity to promote their cause by allowing them free space around the Cricket Pitch for them to bring a gazebo or stall! We feel it’s vital for everyone in St Helens to know what’s going on and hope the Barton’s Pickles JV Bowls will be a perfect vehicle to highlight all the great and good happening within our amazing town”

The Barton’s Pickles JV Celeb Bowls is a free to enter event with family fun for all. A donation on entry will go towards The Steve Prescott Foundation; only the After Party has an entrance fee of £10.
