Armed Forces Day

Residents and visitors to Wigan Borough can experience life in World War One through a simulation dome this Armed Forces Day.

Wigan Council has organised the annual event, which will take place in Wigan town centre on Saturday 30th June.

Held between 10am and 4pm, the event will boast military displays, musical entertainment and a multitude of stalls showcasing the fantastic support on offer for veterans locally and nationally.

Veterans are encouraged to enjoy a free breakfast on Believe Square from 9am ahead of the parade, which will start on Crompton Street at 10.30am and will end at Wigan Parish Church.

A family fun day will be held along the town centre high street between 10am and 4pm, inviting residents to celebrate the dedication and hard-work of the local armed forces community.

There will be ample opportunities for residents to reflect on the day, including the use of a World War One simulation dome, which has been provided by Leigh Community Trust
