Wiganers can say Christmas is coming now the Light Night Festival has brightened up the borough with stunning art displays. Wigan Pier’s dazzling mural projected across its historic walls left bypassers in awe as they moved along the night time trail on Friday many braved the weather for.
The Light Night extravaganza returned for a second year after a successful run last year along the canalside and has now included the Trencherfield Mill this year. This is something organisers hope to make an annual tradition to lure people into the heart of the borough and experience the culture they have to offer.
The event kicked off on Friday night with the light trail - which a whopping 8,000 people had signed up for over the duration of the weekend - and culminated in the lantern parade in Leigh which featured performances from WigLe dance.
