Dear Members,
Thank you for your continued support and patience on this matter. I am very conscious that it has been a while since I have published any updates regarding the progress we are making towards establishing a joined up bridleway for Haigh. I will do this shortly.

Begin to uncover through shared research the history of Haigh Cricket Club.
Tucked away in a planning application for Standish Cricket Club is this snippet of information:
'In the same year (1920) the club bought two pavilions, a roller, and a mower from Haigh Parish Cricket Club for £16.'
The site of the old Cricket Pitch can still be seen in the Upper Plantations if you walk down the cobbled track towards the green bridge near Mowpin Lodge. It can also be seen on maps of the area, however, there is very little information about Haigh Parish Cricket Club.
if you would be interested in helping find out more about the history of cricket in Haigh, please register your interest.

UPDATE 3: Wednesday 10th May.
We are pleased to inform you that we are at last getting somewhere with this project.
We were informed at a meeting last week with Wigan Council Officers, Al and Al Creative Directors of Haigh Hall, and Keith Bergman the Manager of Haigh Woodland Park that discussions have taken place with the Rights of Way Officer and early progress has been made to finally get this up and running.
It was agreed that we will have a joint working group meeting with representatives from interested parties: Haigh Parish Council, Haigh Hall Heritage Matters (formerly Friends of Haigh Hall Heritage and Open Access for All), Al and Al and the Haigh Horse-riding Community.
The meeting has been arranged for Saturday 13th May, and will be in the form of a 'walking meeting' within the plantations, looking at a possible route.
We will keep you updated on further progress.
UPDATE 2: Sunday 12th March
Good News. The FB group Haigh Hall Matters (formerly Friends of Haigh Hall Heritage and Open Access for All) are supporting this and have scheduled it for discussion at their monthly meeting with Wigan Council Officers and Directors tomorrow.
Latest Update on the Bridleway for Haigh Project
A Teams meeting between Haigh Parish Council and Wigan Council Officers took place virtually on 13th December, when the Bridleway For Haigh project was raised and well received.
A detailed report written by the Haigh Parish Community working group, for consideration by the officers was submitted to Wigan Council after the meeting, and then distributed by the Director to the team currently responsible for the management of Haigh Country Park.

Unfortunately, the wheels of progress seem to turn very slowly in local government and we still await to hear the outcome of the meeting.
Lots of horse riders have put forward some good suggestions, ideas, and reasons why there is an urgent need for this to be addressed.
Haigh Parish Council will continue to keep the Haigh communities informed and as soon as a response is received we can move the project forward.

Medieval nights
![]()
After talking to a resident of Haigh we wondered if there might be interest in a Medieval night. Some of you may recall them some years back held in a huge marquee outside of the hall, medieval banquet, themed dress up, bird of prey displays. What would peoples thoughts be on something like this?
