A poster from 1986 for a Country Music Festival down at the Mill at the Pier.

I can't say I've heard of any of the acts, but the ticket prices seem OK !

Was any body there??

i attended most of country sundays at trencherfield, oregon was a wigan band and a very good one, they first went under the name moonshiners and played at all clubs in northwest and afar, Bob mckinley was going at same time as was Big Tom and the colaradoes, seen some cracking acts at the time, cheers for the memory Tim.

What happened to the George Orwell Centre, at Wigan Pier?. It certainly was a place of nostalgic memories. An entertaining experience, being in the Victorian school room. What is its usefulness now?.

Albert, the buildings at the pier are being renovated to become a multi-functional leisure venue, they'd stood empty for some years so it's good they are to be used again. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/business-news/wigan-pier-regeneration-step-places-14537409
