🗞️🍷 Where can I get one? - Kawa’s coffee and wine bar

After a long week of photoshoots, TheDraft is sitting back and putting its feet up at KAWA's with glass of wine. Honestly, look at it... Living the dream 😎

You should join too, because KAWA's at 47 Wallgate is now another official pickup point for TheDraft Issue 1. Grab your copy along with a coffee, or treat yourself to a beer or a wine while you're there.

That's another one ticked off, with more rolling out across Wigan soon. Keep your eyes peeled 👀

🧩 Did you know The Draft has games inside?

🎉 You can win a full professional photoshoot from GroundUp® Marketing & Media for yourself, your business or a client.

It’s fun to play, Wigan‑themed, and a great pass‑time on your lunch break.

We can’t wait to see your entries!

🚚 📦 Guess Who Got One - The Scary Guy

Where else would we start than with the man on the cover himself? We hand delivered Issue 1 of TheDraft to The Scary Guy today, and his reaction said it all. He loved it, and he even signed a copy for us. ✍️

He's fully behind what TheDraft stands for: spreading positive messaging and shining a light on the people and businesses doing good across Wigan.

Thanks Again Scary 🫡
