LOOKING BACK: The soon-to-be King Charles's visits Wigan
As the countdown to King Charles’ coronation continues, we look back to occasions when the then Prince Charles visited Wigan: first briefly in 1986 and then in April 2019 when he met groups at The Old Courts, toured the Uncle Joe’s Mint Ball factory and watched a production at Wigan Little Theatre.
