Club of the Year

 

Congratulations to HAYDOCK READING ROOM on once again being crowned the Club of the Year for 2026

Five local clubs were shortlisted for St Helens CAMRA Club of the Year award 2026. 

The St Helens CAMRA Club of the Year is voted for by all CAMRA members registered with the branch and any club that sells real ale and meets the criteria set out by CAMRA nationally, can be included in the competition.

Ian Pye, Pubs Officer for St Helens and District CAMRA said:

“Well done to Haydock Reading Room once again for coming out on top in what was a closely fought contest.

“Since we relaunched the branch club of the year award, we’ve seen the number of clubs in our area serving real ale increase. The only way a club can win this award though is if people take part in the final scoring for branch Club of the Year by visiting and scoring each one on the shortlist.”

The clubs in the shortlist for the 2026 branch Club of the Year competition were: 

Haydock Reading Room

Prescot Reform Club

Rainford Labour Club

Rainhill Recreation Club

West Park RFC
