Save the date Wigan!… Sunday, November 9 is the second ever Wigan Artisan Market day at The Cotton Works!
Did someone say Christmas Shopping?!….
The exciting new event for Wigan launched last month at the Cotton Works and celebrated the best of local creativity, food, music, and community spirit. It transformed The Cotton Works into a vibrant hub of activity on the second Sunday of the month.

There will be 75 Artisan stalls!
