Wigan Athletic to hold promotion party

The even will take place on Sunday, May 6, in Mesnes Park, between 12 noon and 4pm.

Players, staff and supporters will have the chance to join together in celebration of a record-breaking season for Paul Cook’s side, with the Player of the Year awards also to be announced on the afternoon.

There will be a big screen at the bandstand, on which some of the season highlights will be played as well as some of the most popular videos of the season.

There will be opportunities for photos with your favourite players, Q&As on stage with chairman David Sharpe, manager Paul Cook, his staff and some of the players and also the chance to feature on an iconic ‘Together Team Photo’ of players, staff and supporters.

Entertainment will be provided for kids of all ages with delicious food, beers and beverages provided by a selection of bars and street food traders, selected by our partners Haigh Foodie Friday.

Latics chairman Sharpe said: “With the positivity around this season, the recent season card campaign and the feel good around the club, I felt it was important we had an open end of season celebration to include everyone associated with the club.

“On this special day, we’ll be able to celebrate our promotion to the Sky Bet Championship and the end of season awards as a special end to a year we have all enjoyed so much.

“I encourage as many supporters as possible to come down to the event and make it a memorable occasion for the town.”
