The Old Courts is a not for profit multi-arts centre bringing innovative art, theatre, music, dance, comedy and spoken word to Wigan and the region. All year we have a full calendar of events of live music gigs, shows for children, art exhibitions and local theatre. We have have events to suit all tastes and are confident there is something for everyone at The Old Courts.
Our goal is to bring audiences to cultural events they will enjoy and put Wigan on the map as a hotbed of talent. We are the main arts venue for Wigan and people visiting the town. Revenue generated from ticket sales, food and drink, venue hire and donations of support from the public are invested into creating great events, kicking up a cultural revolution benefiting us all.
We embrace the culture of the town and believe The Arts Centre reflects positively with what is happening in Wigan and what people want to see. Our work is to highlight the arts and get everyone involved. Expressing yourself creatively is open to all and The Old Courts are keen to encourage you to come forward with your ideas and be creative.
