The Wigan Pier scheme covers around 55,000 sq ft and offers the potential to accommodate a mix of uses such as cultural events, commercial spaces, as well as leisure, retail, and community facilities.
The buildings have great potential for performance, workshop and exhibition spaces delivered by cultural organisations.
‘Wigan Pier’ was made famous by author George Orwell, whose 1937 book The Road to Wigan Pier is regarded as a classic account of working-class Northern life. ‘The original ‘Pier’ was the humorous local description of a coal loading jetty.
Work is due to start on Pier 2 to accommodate Curious Minds who will deliver education and cultural services. Work recently started on Pier 4 and 5, which will be used for temporary events.
