Legends for Good, a curated, premium three‑day festival of music, food, sport, wellness, arts, comedy and culture, launches with a single, uncompromising promise: 100% of profits will be channelled to charities that help people rebuild their lives.
Born from the tragic story of Clare Scheckter’s 21-year-old daughter Ila, Legends for Good aims to make a positive from the pain, loss and suffering that comes with addiction and create a powerful and lasting legacy in Ila’s name. Legends for Good also aims to end the stigma around addiction and mental health and create positive conversations that move people forward.
Founder Clare Scheckter said: “I learned so much from my daughter Ila. Her bravery and her limitless ability to love everyone and see the best in them inspires me every day. She tried so hard to overcome her addiction, but it was too strong for her. I really wanted to continue to do what she wanted to do so badly – raise awareness, make people understand more about the struggles of those suffering from addiction and mental health with the upmost compassion, and that’s where Legends for Good was born from. We wanted to build more than a festival. We wanted to create a force for change. The festival is about unforgettable days and nights, as well as celebrating and supporting the everyday work that helps people rebuild.”
Taking place across the fields of Sapley Farm (formerly known as Laverstoke Park Farm) from 23-25 July 2027, Legends for Good is a festival with something for everyone to enjoy and a place for everyone to make memories.
Sign up for Early Bird tickets is available now via legendsforgood.com, with the Early Bird sale starting at 9am Wednesday 4 November.
The festival also today names Mind, Steps2Recovery and Hammersley Homes as its founding charity partners. Three charities with missions close to the heart of the festival, proceeds will fund better services for all including free residential places, helplines, outreach, daycentre services and supported housing to create real, long‑term second chances.
Charlie Kirkham, Voices Manager, Mind said: “Every year, 1 in 4 adults in England and Wales experience a mental health problem. And right now, more young people than ever are reaching crisis point. Events like the Legends for Good Festival are a really good opportunity for people to have that joyous moment and still be within that space where mental health problems can be openly discussed. Every festival ticket sold will help keep helplines open and local Minds running, making our services to anyone who needs us and allow us to leave no mind behind”
Kelly Judge, House Manager, Steps2Recovery said: “Steps2Recovery’s mission perfectly aligns with the mission and purpose of Legends for Good. We aim to provide help and support based on a client’s needs, rather than their ability to access funding. Steps2Recovery helps those who desperately want to change their lives and we are here to do just that”
Laura Delfranco, Director of Operations, Hammersley Homes, said: “At Hammersley Homes, we aim to provide safety, security, comfort and friendship for life to vulnerable adults with a history of enduring mental health problems. Our vision is to continue raising awareness for what it’s like for someone to be isolated and disconnected from the things that mean so much to everyone. The funds from tickets will directly help us to continue our Outreach Services, Day Centres and Supported Housing.”
Expect legendary headline sets, surprise collaborations and carefully curated stages alongside food from top chefs, sport activations, wellness programming and comedy and arts commissions. On‑site wellbeing hubs and community programming will offer immediate support and create pathways to lasting change. This is a premium weekend designed to turn celebration into meaningful, measurable impact.
Positioned to be a landmark event in the UK’s premium festival calendar, Legends for Good will be held on 23-25 July 2027. Full line-up to be announced in due course. Tickets go on sale on Friday 6 November.
