Borough Life Plus Winter 2023

Welcome to Borough Life Plus

Get out those big coats and scarves as winter has arrived and we’re rolling with the festive feeling.

The build-up to the end of the year always means a new edition of Borough Life magazine and here at Borough Life Plus we’ve got a selection box full of bonus content.

And the gifts don’t stop there as there’s also a new episode of the Borough Life podcast out soon featuring the magazine’s cover-stars; the team from Harwoods Patisserie in Standish.

For the latest podcast episode and all previous episodes from 2023, visit: Borough Life Podcast (external link).

It was a dazzling array of artworks and interactive installations that wowed thousands of visitors in November.

Walking through Mesnes Park was a truly magical experience and felt like being transported into a different universe.

We’re already counting down to Light Night 2024!

Oh, what a night, late October back in ’23!

Inspirational stories from amazing individuals who enrich their communities. The Our Town Awards is a highlight of the year for us and this video gives you a flavour of the event.

Keep your eye out in 2024 for when the nominations open again, it’s going to be even bigger and better.

We knew them before they were TV stars!

We’ve delved into our recent history for when Harwoods helped us with our Platinum Jubilee special edition, before their days on Bake Off: The Professionals.

It’s well worth another watch.

We’re shining a light on some of the services we provide and the wonderful people at #TeamWigan who are behind them.

Wigan Council delivers hundreds of services to make a difference to the lives of local people and communities.

Behind all of these services are incredible people passionate about #MakingADifference to individuals and communities from Wigan Borough.

Here's a day in our life...
