A new neighbourhood is taking shape in the heart of Wigan, and this week we launched its new digital home.

Fettlers is an ambitious £135 million regeneration project transforming the former Galleries shopping centre into a place for people to live, work, meet and enjoy. With a new market hall, hotel, homes, leisure spaces and a public square, it’s a big new chapter for the town.

We’ve had a lot of fun designing and building fettlers.co.uk, working closely with Cityheart, Wigan Council and with spaces designed by the amazing Sheila Bird. It’s been an amazing collaborative project, bringing different ideas together to create a digital experience that captures the character, energy and ambition of Fettlers, and there’s plenty more to come!

Construction is already well underway, with the new Market Hall planned to open later this year and the Hampton by Hilton hotel scheduled for winter 2027. Further phases will continue to bring the neighbourhood to life, and we can’t wait to help the website evolve as the Neighbourhood does.

For now, we’re really pleased to see the website out in the world, giving Fettlers a place to share its story as the development takes shape.

A full case study will follow. In the meantime, take a look around fettlers.co.uk.
