After a five-year hiatus, Wigan Arts Festival is back. This March, the multi-arts programme proudly showcases Wigan’s vibrant arts and culture.

Join us for the eighth Wigan Arts Festival, celebrating local creatives, from musicians and poets to theatre-makers, filmmakers, painters, sensory curators, and body shakers. Produced by The Old Courts (Wigan Heritage & Arts Trust), the festival takes place across Wigan, including an open exhibition at Wigan Pier.

This festival is made possible thanks to our funders, partners, collaborators, venues, volunteers and of course, none of this would be possible without artists.
