The John Bull Chop House is so much more than a pub. It is a way of life. It is a family.
It is a beacon of our great and historic town and one of the oldest buildings in Wigan.
The impact of the fire will no doubt hit many very hard.
This is a fundraiser to help Victoria, Pete, Mark, Chris, Natasha, Adam and all the people that work so hard to make it the greatest pub on Earth. Save the John Bull.
>The John Bull Chophouse, in Wigan town centre, was dubbed the “greatest pub on Earth” by the founder of the appeal.
>Firefighters were called to Coopers Row at 4am on Tuesday and worked throughout the night to bring the fire under control.
>By 8.35am the fire was successfully extinguished, but not without major damage to the grade II-listed building.
>Pub-goers and local businesses have come together to express their upset and sadness at the damage to the popular business.
>Gerry-Jo Wilkins wrote on Wigan Today’s Facebook page: “I hope it can be repaired, this a true staple for Wigan. John Bull has always been a good pub.”
>Wendy Liptrot wrote: “Hope it lives on to pull another pint. Full of history and character and most certainly the best pub in Wigan.”
>Another person commented: “The best pub in Wigan. I really hope that the damage to the building can be repaired and that all of the staff are okay.”
>Many highlighted the famous jukebox at the pub and hoped that was not too badly affected by the fire.
>Gill Harland wrote: “It’s a much loved venue and jukebox by many generations (you don’t get that often).”
>Another person said: “The best pub in Wigan! Been going there for 44 years.”

The largest wooden-floored roller rink in Europe is to close.
🔗 SIGN THE PETITION TO SAVE THE RINK 👈
Wigan Roller Rink, in Wigan, in Greater Manchester, will shut in August, after four decades in the town.
Redevelopment plans for its Eckersley Mill site had originally included a new rink, but this is no longer the case.
"To say we're devastated is a complete understatement," rink director Dawn Holding told BBC Radio Manchester.
The rink is based within one of several historic buildings that make up the former cotton mill, which dates back to the late 1800s, and was one of the largest in the region.
The 17-acre site was approved for redevelopment last year with plans to build housing and entertainment venues.
Holding has said the business has now been given four months to leave.

===============
On May 13th 2026, Wigan Roller Rink announced it would be permanently closing down at the end of August this year.
However, Wigan Roller Rink is one of the last places in Wigan for community, learning new skills, and being able to entertain both children and adults alike.
The closure of the rink would be a huge loss to the Wigan community, as this rink is a place where both children and adults can socialise and make friends, especially in 2026 when there is a significant rise in youth loneliness, with young people being declared the loneliest generation.
Also, there are already limited opportunities for adults to make friends, and the roller rink provided that space.
As well as this, skating sessions and lessons were always quite affordable here, at only £7 a pop, so it was quite accessible too.
With Wigan’s track record, the building would probably just sit abandoned whilst rent is so high that no one else could fill the spot, whilst vape shops and betting shops fill our once bustling high streets.
There is genuinely very little to do in terms of activities anymore, and this was one of the last things we had.
Every weekend, the car park is absolutely packed with skaters, so popularity and demand is not the issue at hand here.
Maybe this is far fetched but if this petition gets enough traction then maybe the council will see how important this place is to so many people in Wigan and work with them to keep it open.
The skating community is already in talks with the rink to try to understand the situation.

I am finalising arrangements with Andy's team for an AMA on Friday.
5:45pm-6:45pm.
Look out for the post to go live shortly before the AMA start time in order for our community to add their questions in advance.
The AMA will be moderated in real time.
Rules of civility will apply. We will be engaging in good faith with Andy to hear his vision for Makerfield, and the country.
Tell me why the stadium is the modeller to buy, over the QC.
I know this is a bit odd, posting in a Helix group… but I am going to buy either the QC or the Line6 Helix Stadium.
The stadium is £500 more expensive.
I play in an original material band (with a Fender Deville amp, and a pedalboard (compressor, overdrives, chorus).
I also play in an event band (weddings, corporate etc).
I really want to consolidate into a QC or Helix and ditch my amp.
When I hear comparisons on YouTube the QC sounds much more ‘real’ to me, but it’s hard to take YT vids as evidence for such a big purchase.
I don’t want to capture my own amp exclusively, I want to explore other amp models / captures if available.
It’s a lot of £ for me to spend so I want to make the right choice.
Thank you in advance.

Can the QC take pedals well? Are they needed, or can I find all I need in the QC itself?
Is the overall sound better in the QC? When I hear comparisons on YouTube the QC sounds much more ‘real’ to me, but it’s hard to take YT vids as evidence for such a big purchase.
