Pig Gig 2026 (near Scissett)

About the event

Pig Gig is a unique one-day music festival set in a beautiful 10-acre woodland sanctuary, home to rescued pigs, goats, and chickens. From 12pm–10pm on July 18th, enjoy live music, great food, a well-stocked bar and much more.

You might even find some of the resident pigs wandering over to enjoy the music with you.

Hosted by Pigs in the Wood, this year Pig Gig is in collaboration with Manchester Pig Save, who are celebrating 10 years of animal vigils. The event raises funds to support the rescued animals who live in the woodland, helps continue vital rescue work, and spreads awareness for the cause.
