The Galleries shopping centre has had a chequered past, rarely seeing all of its units filled, but in recent years it has been in decline, especially after the Grand Arcade opened and recession hit in 2008. It also holds fond memories for many and has hosted all manner of extraordinary events over the years too.

Entertainment on the Wigan beach which was first laid in July 2008.
Located in Woodcock Square at the Galleries Shopping Centre, 10 tonnes of sand were brought in and deck chairs and decking put in situ.
The beach hosted a variety of activities and was free to anyone from late July to the end of August.
