Details of live performance events open to the public which feature Wigan Music Service groups can be found below. We will update the events at the beginning of each school term.
Whilst most of our performances take place within the borough, we do play elsewhere in the region. Admission arrangements are different for each event, depending on venues and nature of the event. (We do not run a central box office for our performances).
If you have any queries, please call 01942 776169 or email musicservice@wigan.gov.uk.
