Where is the Store Located?

Located in a rather large church in Hindley, the Wigan tackle store is within St Pauls Chapel, built in 1815. It has undergone renovations to make the interior an angler’s dream. The tackle shop can be found on Market Street, just outside of Wigan, with the A58 passing the front door.

Car parking for Wigan AD can be found in the two large car parks surrounding the shop. Being set in an old church, the tackle store has disabled access at the front of the shop. Nearby the AD Wigan, there are numerous places to eat, drink and shop too.

Local venues to AD Wigan include a variety of Stillwaters, mainly coarse commercial fisheries, a few traditional mixed Stillwaters, and the Leeds to Liverpool canal. There are also Rivers Ribble for coarse and game anglers not too far away.
