Join filmmaker Natasha and poet Carla as they encourage you to Look Up at Wigan's beautiful building tops!

Attendees will be sent out into Wigan town centre to take photos and then be asked about the experience.

The photos and responses will inspire the poetry film to be exhibited in Wigan STEAM's gallery in early 2022.

If you don't own a camera/camera phone, you can still join in by describing your findings to Carla and Natasha instead.
