If you go down to the woods today - well, Saturday.

Yes it's the Wigan Poetry Picnic. Meet at 1.30pm in the Worthington Lakes car park.

Explore the beautiful spring flora and fauna in the company of local poet John Clays. Bring your picnic and a selection of your favourite poems.

Popular poetry books will be available to read from if you haven't got a poem to read.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, no dogs are allowed at Worthington Lakes.
