Our Festival Vision
At Hales Events, our mission is to bring people together through inclusive, community-focused events like Hales Weekender, while raising vital funds to support the long-term development of Old Halesonians Rugby Club. Every event we organise helps fund key projects within the club — from improving our facilities and equipment to offering free or subsidised access to sport for families facing financial hardship. Our goal is to create memorable experiences that make a real difference at the heart of our community.
Our Story
Hales Events is run by a dedicated team of volunteers from the Old Halesonians community, all united by a passion for developing our club and supporting others.
We organise family-friendly events like Hales Weekender to raise funds that go straight back into the club — improving facilities, supporting player development, and making rugby more accessible, especially for those facing financial hardship.
We're proud to bring people together, give back to our community, and help create lasting impact through every event we deliver.
