Prince Charles to visit Greater Manchester

Published 3rd Apr 2019

Prince Charles will be making his first ever official visit to Wigan today.

He'll first be visiting the morning in Manchester at the British Muslim Heritage Centre/

He's then heading to Wigan to visit The Old Courts, Wigan Little Theatre and The Toffee Works.

They're of course famous for producing Uncle Joe's Mint Balls.

Joint Managing Director John Winnard told us about the moment he was given the news.

"I got a phone call about 3-4 weeks ago from the Lord Lieutenant's Office saying Prince Charles would love to visit the factory.

"I couldn't believe it, I thought someone was playing a prank!

"But it was true, so it was great!"
