One of Wigan’s most historic landmarks will receive a £20 million rejuvenation, it has been confirmed. Haigh Hall has been chosen to be awarded funding from the Government Levelling Up department’s £594 million prize pot to restore local heritage sites.
Wigan Council will use the funding to restore the Grade II listed building and its surroundings to their ‘former glory’. They hope it will make the site a popular destination for culture, community, events and hospitality once more.
The hall, which was built around 1840, stands as an iconic building amid the picturesque surroundings of Haigh Woodland Park.
