Doors open at 5.30pm on Thursday and the opening night will be free to all and considered a “quiet session” for those who prefer a more relaxed drink.

On Friday and Saturday doors will open from noon until 9pm with entry from £3 and £1 for CAMRA members.

Entry after 5pm on Saturday will also be free.

Wigan Transport Trust will once again run a free shuttle service to the event every half an hour, departing from next to Wigan bus station and Wigan North Western train station with the timetable available on CAMRA’s website.
