Join us for a guided tour of the Grade II listed Leigh Town Hall and the collections of Archives: Wigan & Leigh.

Leigh Town Hall was between 1904-06 by J. C. Prestwich. We will explore the historic features of the building and then head down into the strong rooms of Archives: Wigan & Leigh where we keep 800 years' worth of records relating to the Wigan Borough.

A few years ago we were awarded £1.3 million by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which with Council investment has allowed its historic interior to be restored to its former glory as well as a new home for Archives: Wigan & Leigh.

Important information:

- Free parking at weekends at Bengal Street car park (adjacent to Leigh Town Hall) and Doctors Nook car park (across the road).
- Accessible toilet & baby changing facilities
- Lift access between floors
