The 9 pharmacies open for business across Wigan over the Easter bank holiday weekend

Many shops will close their doors over the long Easter weekend, but some pharmacies will remain open to help people with health issues.

Whether you need treatment for earache or a sore throat or advice from a pharmacist on prescribed medication, support will still be available.

These are the nine pharmacies across Wigan borough that will be open on Good Friday (March 29), Easter Sunday (March 31) and Easter Monday (April 1).

There may be other pharmacies open which have not notified NHS Greater Manchester.

People should call 999 or attend A&E in the event of a life or limb-threatening emergency.
