New Format For 2027

wigan business expo

More than an exhibition. A day built for doing business.

Thursday 11th March 2027

The Edge Arena, Wigan

So, what's new for 2027?

Wigan Business Expo brings businesses from across Wigan and the wider North West together for a day of connections, conversations and practical business support. Whether you’re looking to meet potential customers and suppliers, raise your profile, learn something useful or simply grow your local network, there’s a place for you.

For 2027, we’ve rethought the format to give you even more ways to get something valuable from the day. The Expo remains free to attend, with an exhibition packed with local businesses alongside practical workshops, drop in support and curated networking. Then, after the main Expo closes, the day continues with a new bookable afternoon session, bringing everyone together for further learning, conversation and connection.

Come for what you need. Stay for as much of the day as you want.

A new format for 2027

One day. Two ways to experience it.

For 2027, we’re changing the shape of Wigan Business Expo. We’ve taken everything that works about the Expo and condensed it into one busy morning, before bringing everyone together for a completely new afternoon experience built around lunch, networking and two fantastic speakers.

Join us for the free morning Expo, book your place for the afternoon, or make a full day of it and experience both.

MORNING EXPO: Free to Attend

The Wigan Business Expo you know, packed into one busy morning. Meet exhibitors from Wigan and beyond, discover new products and services, access practical business support and take part in workshops and drop in sessions. Our curated networking will also be back, helping you make connections with the businesses and people you want to meet. Come with a purpose, explore at your own pace and make the morning work for your business.

AFTERNOON SPEAKER SESSION: Ticketed

When the exhibition closes, we’ll bring everyone together for a completely different kind of afternoon. Enjoy a buffet lunch, dedicated networking and talks from two fantastic speakers, with time to continue conversations from the morning and make new connections away from the exhibition stands. With limited places available, it’s a more focused part of the day for people who want to stay, connect and hear something genuinely worth listening to.
