Clarence Hotel, Wigan
Wigan, United Kingdom
The Clarence Hotel, which currently trades as Harry's Bar, is a Grade II listed public house on Wallgate in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. Built in 1898 and designed by W. E. V. Crompton, it has served both as a hotel and a pub and is closely associated with the World Pie Eating Championship, which has usually been held there since its establishment in 1992. In 2024 the owners announced plans to refurbish the building and restore its original name, though no further updates had appeared by April 2025; proposals for apartments on the upper floors have also been reported, but no corresponding planning application is available on Wigan Council's website as of June 2026.
