It’s at this time of year when the weather starts warming up and visitors flock to our beautiful Mesnes Park and Haigh Woodland Park.
We’ve had a look through the Wigan Today archives and produced a variety of pictures featuring both locations as backdrops to all kinds of events and goings-on during the month of April in years gone by.
