Royal Court #Theatre #Wigan update
Wigan's Old Courts' boss is looking forward to better times after a traumatic three years but one key project is having to be surrendered to the town hall
After major artistic plans for Wigan were wrecked by Covid and bungling workmen, the charity behind the town’s Old Courts hub is looking to brighter times ahead.

Today’s #OnThisDay #ObjectHighlight is this 1909 poster for a Grand Carnival at Central Park, #Wigan in aid of Royal Albert Edward Infirmary. Donated by Paggett's painters and decorators, it had been used as a drawer lining and hidden for many years. What a fabulous find!
This beautiful poster features an illustration of a man standing on grass wearing butterfly wings and yellow shoes. The carnival boasted 1500 performers, 20 bands, and could accommodate 40,000 people!
