Wigan Town Hall, Grade II listed municipal building in Wigan, England.

The former mining and technical college exhibits terracotta architecture with large Ionic columns at its entrance and decorative friezes along the facade.

Constructed in 1903 as Wigan Mining and Technical College, the building transformed into the Metropolitan Borough Council headquarters following a renovation in 1990.

The council chamber displays the painting 'Going North' by George Earl, depicting Victorian travelers departing Kings Cross Station for the Scottish hunting season.

The Town Hall operates weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours available through advance reservations with the Principal Committees Services Officer.

The building houses a seventeenth-century mace and a state sword given by Charles II to recognize Wigan's support during the English Civil War.
