3rd Diggers' Fest confirmed for 7th September in The Wiend area.
http://wigandiggersfestival.org/
Confirmed yesterday, with Wigan's Town Centre Manager, the gardens
adjacent to The Wiend, containing the 'Face of Wigan' statue, and the
forecourt of the new Wigan Life Centre (shown on left), unofficially
renamed by us "Gerrard Winstanley Place", will again be the site of
this year's 3rd WIGAN DIGGERS' FESTIVAL which will take place on
Saturday 7th September.
The planning of this year's event is still in its early stages but
PLEASE PUT THIS DATE IN YOUR DIARY NOW! See map below for exact
location in Wigan town centre.
The FREE Annual Open Air Festival celebrates, via the medium of
poetry, music and song, film and a range of other activities, the
life and ideas of Wigan born and bred Gerrard Winstanley (1609-1676)
and the 17th Century 'Diggers' movement he became the inspirational
theorist and spokesperson of.
Also known as the 'True Levellers', the Diggers were one of the first
truly egalitarian political movements of the poor and propertyless
anywhere in the World, and the first to argue for full equality of
men and women. Winstanley and they famously asserted: "The World was
made a common treasury for all!"
Last year's festival was a resounding success, with some of the best
weather of the year helping to swell the crowd to around 2000 over
the course of the day.
Attila The Stockbroker was top of a bill of 24 separate acts
including two Socialist choirs, three top radical poets, three local
bands, two duos and two professional actors.
We are hopeful Attila and actor John Graham Davies, who played the
part of Gerrard Winstanley, in a symbolic re-enactment of the digging
and sowing (which gave the Digger's their nickname) at St, George's
Hill near Weybridge in Surrey in 1649 (seen above), will perform once
again at this year's festival, along with some of the most popular
acts from last year's event, and some new and more well known ones as well.
Last year's Festival also included a film showing, exhibition, audio
visual presentation, and a beer tent for which we commissioned our
own Wigan brewed 'Gerrard Winstanley' and 'Diggers 1649' ales, both
of which proved very popular and we are hopeful will be available
again this year.
MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW.
In the meantime why not check out some of the many photos from last
year's event on our Festival Photos page:

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic poison which
alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be
revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27
Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
