Explore Things to do in Leigh

Welcome to the Leigh directory. Here you’ll find a round-up of what’s happening across the town, reflecting its blend of heritage and contemporary life. From the established community spirit of Mosley Common and the quieter residential streets of Westleigh, to the recreational spaces around Pennington Flash Nature Reserve, you can find a range of activities. We aim to capture the breadth of local activity, from regular events at the Leigh Market Hall to sports at the Leigh Sports Village, and everything in between.

This isn’t just about larger events, but also the smaller, day-to-day happenings. You’ll discover details of local craft groups, fitness classes, and volunteer opportunities. The area around Leigh Town Centre is consistently developing, and we work to include its many shops, pubs and eating places. Beyond the centre, areas like Pennington offer a slower pace, while other parts of the town cater to a broader range of interests.

These listings are updated daily, so you can be sure you’re seeing the most current information. We endeavour to represent the town’s full spectrum of life, from the industrial legacy visible at Astley Green Colliery Museum to the latest community initiatives. This is Leigh, a place with a strong sense of place and a welcoming atmosphere.
