Only 30 minutes from Manchester city centre and Manchester Airport are the towns of Wigan and Leigh. Bordering Bolton and Warrington, Wigan sites on the river Douglas and this former mill town and coal mining district is now more famously known for its pies, Pier and, of course, Wigan Athletic Football Club.
Wigan has some pretty impressive musical credentials, being home to George Formby Sr and George Formby Jr as well as being the home of dancers ‘The Eight Lancashire Lads’ who were best known for offering Charlie Chaplin his first steps in the world of showbiz. Since then, several artists and bands hailing from Wigan have gained international recognition, including The Verve, of Bittersweet Symphony fame who met at Winstanley College in the late ‘80’s, as well as The Railway Children, Witness, The Tansads, Limahl of Kajagoogoo and Starsailor.
Perhaps most famously, Wigan is forever linked to the Northern Soul movement, with weekly Northern Soul all-nighters being held at the legendary Wigan Casino during the 70’s and early 80’s. Beginning as a dance hall called Empress Ballroom, Wigan Casino became synonymous with the Northern Soul scene during the 1970’s and was named "best disco in the world" by American music mag Billboard in 1978. A fire devastated the building in 1982 and Wigan Casino was demolished the following year. The 2014 film Northern Soul, set in 1974, takes its inspiration from Wigan Casino’s epic all-nighters, telling the story of the tumultuous friendship of two lads brought together over their discovery of Northern Soul music.
In addition to its musical hetritage, Wigan hosts the annual World Pie Eating Championship which is usually held at Harry's Bar on Wallgate. Since 1992, Wigan has been a mecca for all things meat-and-pastry (although in 2006 a vegetarian option was added). However, Wiganers were referred to as "pie-eaters" long before this. The name is said to date back to a General Strike in 1926 when coal miners in Wigan were starved back to work before those in surrounding towns. In doing so, the Wiganers were made to eat "humble pie", ergo the phrase “pie-eaters” was born.
If you fancy a night of pie eating and dancing, there are few places better than Wigan town centre. With hotels that are fairly high end AND budget friendly, it’s also an affordable destination for a stay over too. Check out these hotels in Wigan!
