Wigan Festival Fever Haigh to WOW -

Summer is fast approaching and there are plenty of outdoor activities happening. The Festival Fever programme is full of outdoor events from Haigh Music Festival right through to the multicultural WOW Festival. If it's raining don't despair, we still have a foray of activities happening inside from our new film screenings in the Derby Room to workshops in the Turnpike Gallery. Take a visit to the mighty Trencherfield Steam Engine and learn about working life in Victorian times. All the parks including Haigh have lots to offer families this summer from making summer baskets to listening to brass bands, bat watching to urban foxes. Remember booking is essential for many events so we would advise to always ring your chosen venue beforehand to avoid disappointment.
