What to Expect at Friday Club Wigan

Unlike traditional networking events, Friday Club has no rigid structure or awkward pitches. It’s all about genuine connections in a friendly, down-to-earth setting. With local beverages, regional pints, and the warm atmosphere of Wigan’s Cotton Works venues.

Expect a mix of familiar faces and new introductions. From freelancers and creatives to developers, local business leaders, and professionals looking to grow their network in Wigan.

There’s no formal agenda. Just authentic conversation, community spirit, and the chance to discover new opportunities across Wigan’s growing business scene.

So how does it sound? Sign up as a member of Wigan’s Friday Club and you’re welcome to join in all the fun.

Friday Club is our way of introducing the old Eckersley Mill area and Cotton Works to the business people of Wigan. A place where we would love to invite you for your meetings, events, celebrations and perhaps even a permanent (or flexible) workspace.
