Part of the Walk This Play® series by ThickSkin, supported by The Old Courts.

The memories of Wigan are waiting for you. Listen closely to the sounds around you, find the voice of your guide and the memory will become clearer.

Welcome to the in between.  A place where all our memories are stored. Hear that sound?  Distant and muffled. The memories of people past and present. Feel the gentle rumble under your feet? This pavement holds a history.

This Is Where We Begin takes you on a journey around Wigan town centre. It has been developed by a group of local young creatives alongside ThickSkin’s Artistic Director, Neil Bettles, and Associate Director, Joseph Walsh, as a celebration of the town’s past, present, and future.

A 40 minute walking experience in Wigan
Suitable for ages 12+
Please note: We recommend experiencing this walk between the hours of 9am and 5pm.
