Preparations are under way for the third - and what organisers say will be the biggest and best yet - Orrell Party on the Pitch
Party on the Pitch 2026 returns to Orrell and organisers say that year three will be bigger and better than ever.
The town’s favourite family music festival is back on Saturday July 4 at Bankes Avenue, and the event continues to grow in popularity while raising vital funds for Orrell St James ARLFC.
Every ticket sold helps the club invest in improved facilities for its members – from the youngest minis players right through to the veterans.
Party on the Pitch has built a reputation as one of the most enjoyable family-friendly events in the Wigan area.
Organisers said visitors should expect a fantastic atmosphere with live music, children’s activities, games, food vendors on site all day, and plenty of sunshine (hopefully!)
One of the big attractions is the Bring Your Own Booze policy with guests welcome to bring your own drinks while also supporting the club bar on the day.
This year the club has invested heavily in production and talent, with a much larger stage and upgraded lighting.
The line-up features a brilliant mix of local heroes and top tribute acts:- Jennom
- Andy Crawford (Wigan local legend)
- Country Bound
- Dookie (Green Day tribute)
- Helles Bells (AC/DC tribute)
- The Gerry Cinna-man Experience
- Plus special guest – international Ibiza resident DJ Lee Morrison
The money raised plays a crucial role in the club’s development.
While Orrell is often viewed as a more affluent part of Wigan, Orrell St James ARLFC serves a wide catchment area that includes some of the borough’s more deprived communities.
Funds from the event help bridge that gap, allowing the club to provide better facilities, coaching, and opportunities for everyone – regardless of background.
Tickets are selling fast, so don’t miss out on what promises to be a brilliant day of live music, family fun, laughter, and community spirit.
