‘CreativeLEIGH’ is a promenade performance where the audience will be guided through eight dramatic scenes in different venues around Leigh Sports Village – including the Park Inn Hotel, Wigan & Leigh College, Leigh Sports Centre, the Harriers building and the LSV Stadium.

You will meet the famous, bizarre and successful characters from yesteryear. Accompanied by new visual artwork from local Primary Schools and art groups, this will be a fun and melodramatic theatrical tour for all who want to experience Leigh’s vibrant heritage and learn about the interesting people that were citizens of the town.

With contributions from Wigan Pier Youth & Community Theatre, the Turnpike Community Theatre, St Joseph’s Players, Wigan & Leigh College and professional actors.
