Soul Time
13-15 Millgate, Wigan, WN1 1BY
Wigan's only dedicated Northern Soul bar. Based in the heart of Wigan on Millgate, Soul Time is a two-floor soul suite bringing the music, the energy and the atmosphere that Wigan has been famous for since the Casino days. With a soul lounge, a large dancefloor, two bars, outside seating and Northern Soul music — this is a venue built for the music and the people who live for it. Owned and operated by OV-Group.
Two Floors of Soul
Soul Time is spread across two floors, each with its own bar and its own atmosphere. Downstairs is the main event — a large open dancefloor designed for dancing, with a sound system built to do the music justice. Upstairs is the soul lounge — a more intimate space to sit back, have a drink and soak it all in.
Whether you're here for an all-dayer, a Saturday night session or a midweek drink with Northern Soul as the soundtrack, both floors deliver something special.
The Music
Northern Soul isn't just background music at Soul Time — it's the entire point. The venue is dedicated to the genre that put Wigan on the map. Rare vinyl, classic anthems, deep cuts and the kind of atmosphere that only comes when the music and the crowd connect.
Live DJs, guest performers and soul nights that bring people from across the North West. If you know, you know — and if you don't, Soul Time is the place to find out.
Two Bars, One Soul
Both floors have their own fully stocked bar serving a great range of drinks. The downstairs bar keeps the dancefloor fuelled, while the upstairs lounge bar offers a more relaxed setting where you can take a breather without leaving the building.
From pints and spirits to cocktails and soft drinks — everything you need to keep the night going, whichever floor you're on.
Step Outside
Soul Time has its own outside seating area, perfect for catching some air between sets or enjoying a drink in the sun. Located right on Millgate in the centre of Wigan, it's a great spot for people-watching with a Northern Soul soundtrack drifting through the doors.
It's the full package — dancefloor, lounge, two bars and outdoor space, all under one roof in the heart of Wigan.
