DW Stadium (Community Events)

DW Stadium might be famous for rugby and football, but it’s also a key cultural venue for the town. Alongside matchdays, the stadium hosts major concerts, community galas, business expos, and the occasional outdoor theatre or fireworks spectacular. The on-site suites and lounges transform easily into event spaces for banquets, charity nights, and conferences. It’s home turf for both Wigan Athletic and Wigan Warriors, which means local pride runs deep. Accessibility is excellent — lifts, viewing platforms, and friendly staff who go above and beyond. The stadium’s events team works closely with Wigan Pride and local charities, offering space and support for inclusive celebrations. With plenty of parking, a train station minutes away, and decent pies on site, DW Stadium proves that big venues can still feel like part of the community — loud, welcoming, and full of Wigan heart.
