Springfield Pub builds momentum as community hub
A newly re-opened Wigan pub is quickly regaining popularity, with locals praising its atmosphere, entertainment, and ambitious plans for the future.
The Springfield on Springfield Road, has been open for a month but is already seeing strong support from regulars and new customers alike.
Recent redecoration has given the pub a fresh, modern feel, creating a welcoming space for both casual drinks and social gatherings.
Guests can enjoy a front beer garden, while work continues on a rear garden that is expected to open soon, adding even more outdoor seating. Inside, a dartboard and pool table are available, helping to create a relaxed and interactive environment.
The function room, however, remains closed as renovation work continues.
Management have confirmed it is not yet ready but will form an important part of the pub once completed.
A full calendar of weekly events has been key to the pub’s early success.
Monday nights are dedicated to games, with organisers encouraging donations to expand the offering. Tuesdays have become a standout favourite, with free pool available all evening.
Midweek activities continue with discounted wine and a growing book club on Wednesdays, followed by quiz and trivia nights on Thursdays.
Weekends bring a lively atmosphere, with live entertainment every Friday and Saturday.
Friday nights also feature karaoke, where those who take part are rewarded with a free shot.
On Sundays, the pub hosts a unique “reverse bingo” event, where players aim to avoid completing a line rather than achieve one. Entry is £1, with prizes starting at £20 and increasing over time.
In addition to entertainment, customers can take advantage of regular drink deals and happy hour promotions. Looking ahead, the pub is also preparing to introduce food service within the next month, further expanding its appeal.
Management are encouraging the community to get involved and follow updates online, inviting people to join their Facebook page to keep up with events, offers, and progress.
A spokesperson said: "With strong early momentum and continued improvements underway, the pub is positioning itself as a key social spot in the Springfield area."
