# Event Details

- **Event Name**: WIGAN DIGGERS FESTIVAL
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Sep, 2025 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: A FREE festival in the heart of Wigan - a celebration of the life, ideas and influence of Wigan born Gerrard Winstanley - best summed up in his often quoted "The Earth was made a common treasury for all"

The event runs from 11.00am with a  parade and a symbolic re-enactment of the occupation of St George's Hill where The original Diggers looked to establish a self supporting community of sharing the benefits of both their efforts and the land on which they took place.  Obviously  not a popular idea with the powers that be - eitehr at the time, or sadly still being resisted today!

The remainder of the day offers music on 2 alternating stages - with a fabulously varied line up - there's folk, rock, folk-rock, indie, punk, singer songwriters, classic rock, along with ska/reggae from local, regional and national artists.  In between, there's poetry and a presentation.

There's special Diggers Beer on site that helps finance the festival - so drink responsibly and lots of stalls offering a range of ideas and causes that seek your interest and support.

All rounded off by Merry Hell - returning for a hometown gig and the chance to meet up with so many friends and family.

All held in Believe Square - be there!!
