About this Event

Wigan’s Jacobite Treasures

Wigan played a crucial part in the Jacobite movement in the 18th century. Learn about the collections, stories, and legacy of the Jacobites in the local area. Take a closer look at the Jacobite Jewellery in the collection and how Jacobites used these treasures to signal their loyalty and take part in a society of ‘underworlds’.

The event will consist of a talk 11-12pm, followed by a short walk to the town centre.

Due to the limited size of the event space, if you are a wheelchair or mobility aid user, please contact us in advance so we can make sure you have room to enjoy the event.
