Branch Social Trip to Wigan – Sunday 21st June 2026

We’re on the road again — this time for a short jolly by train to explore some of Wigan’s finest real ale pubs.
If you haven’t visited before, Wigan boasts several excellent pubs all within easy walking distance of the station, including:
The Grade II listed Swan & Railway Hotel — See on CAMRA
The John Bull Chophouse — See on CAMRA
Wigan Central — See on CAMRA
The tiny but marvellous Wigan Brewhouse & Taproom — See on CAMRA
To whet your appetite, take a look at this handy Wigan Town Pub map, created by our friends in the Wigan Branch.
Why not come along, meet some like-minded folk from the branch, and enjoy what promises to be a cracking afternoon out?
We’ll be catching the 14:09 train from Crewe, this Sunday 21st June, so there is plenty of time to sample the best in Wigan, and grab a Wigan Kebab for the ride home.
