Continental Christmas Comes Early

Wiganers will get a chance for a bit of pre-Christmas continental shopping when the Continental market comes to town Wednesday 5 to Saturday 8 November.

A sparkling array of items and produce will be on display providing the perfect opportunity to find those extra special gifts for family and friends.

There will be unique and beautifully crafted gifts, including stunning jewellery; pretty pashminas; aromatic perfumes; and ornate mirrors. Your taste buds will be excited by a selection of exotic foods including French cheeses, nuts, dried fruits, saucissons, pates and crepes.

Cllr David Molynuex, Cabinet Champion for Regeneration and the Environment and Deputy Leader of Wigan Council said: "The continental markets reflect our commitment to bringing new ideas and events to Wigan Town Centre. This is only one of many events we have planned in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

"We aim to further enhance the image and increase the choice for shoppers, visitors and residents to continue building upon the economic success of the Borough."
