What's on in Wigan
Holy Trinity Church, Downall Green
We walk and drive past churches all the time. Now's a chance to find out what one looks like inside and hear about its history.
Holy Trinity in Downall Green will be open on Saturday 9 August from 2pm to 4pm, with a presentation at 2.30pm.
Find out about the surprising history of the church, discover the beautiful stained glass windows and learn about the people involved in building and paying for the church and its furnishings. Explore the churchyard to see the grave of Stephen Walsh MP and some Commonwealth war graves. Local historian Anthony Pilgrim and Pat and Will Sharp who are researching Wigan's churches will guide us through the story of the church.
Easy parking next door in the school playground.
And of course there'll be tea and cakes!

Mistrust - Nowt Without Artists: Episode 12 (Live at Bailiff Bar - Holding Cell)
Mistrust’s music has been described as “synth pop that will put a smile in your heart” (Neil March/Trust the Doc)
In the 1980’s Mistrust wrote and recorded songs in his bedroom using an old synth and drum machine. He dreamed of performing his songs live on stage and having his music on sale in record stores. After several years away from making music, and in his late 50s, Mistrust started playing live in early 2023, and his CDs are now on sale in HMV stores in the UK.
Now, Mistrust brings his headline show to The Old Courts Holding Cell as part of Nowt Without Artists, our series of gigs platforming quality, grassroots talent in headline slots.
