We have lots of different rooms and spaces within our charming building and also run other venues in Wigan and further afield.
Our Public Spaces
VICTORIAN COURTROOM
The Victorian Courtroom is a truly dramatic space. It now hosts a wide variety of events from book launches, art classes and conferences to private celebrations and weddings.
GRAND VAULT
Our main music venue is a staged, draped space perfect for live music performance. We welcome bands, DJ’s and soloists here for weekly shows in a unique but considered space.
THEATRE
Our 150 seat theatre is traditional in feel and hosts a wide range of shows and theatre-makers developing work. We welcome international shows, UK touring work, local projects and community work.
HOLDING CELL
Inspired by The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this cosy space in the Bailiff Bar hosts open mics, improv, comedy and poetry shows and has quickly become a popular venue for off-piste entertainment.
JUDGE’S CHAMBER
The Judge’s Chamber is a beautifully decorated space adjacent to The Victorian Courtroom and is included in the room hire packages.
HOTDESKING SPACE
Our home for artists in residence. A quiet and equipped place where artists can develop and rehearse new material, this is where actors, writers and producers become endeared to our building and make fantastic work.
Food, Drink & Retail
BAILIFF BAR
Wigan’s hidden gem. A cultured and friendly spot with an extensive cocktail menu, a huge variety of drinks and free entertainment from a host of talented artists. This is the hangout for anyone who likes vibrancy and choice.
STATIC RECORDS
Vinyls, vinyls and more vinyls! You will find your jam for sure here! Lovers of music rejoice.
Private
CREATIVE OFFICES
A workspace solution for creatives and professionals who need desk space, WIFI, tea and coffee facilities and meeting rooms on an adhoc basis.
CELLS
As a former courthouse, we are fortunate to have the Victorian cells that once housed the accused who were standing trial. These spaces are now being re-purposed as mini retail spaces for charities and artists.
Our Other Venues
ROYAL COURT THEATRE
Having purchased this magnificent gem at auction, we now aim to restore and reinstate The Royal Court Theatre as a vibrant epicentre of theatre, music, dance, comedy and belonging.
