Keep an eye out for further Wagon Train events, including our grand finale in October 2026, to be announced doon.

Walk the Plank has created a Wild West-inspired Wagon: part pop-up stage, part DJ booth, a creative space for communities in Salford to use May - September 2026. The Wagon Train is inspired by Buffalo Bill’s visit to Salford 150 years ago, and the incredible changes in the city since then. 

During October 2025, we took our Wagon on a tour of Salford's neighbourhoods and asked the people of Salford: what should take place on or around the Wagon in your community? A fashion show, a band night, a karaoke night, hokey cokey, or a food festival? We invited communities to speak to us at Pendleton Shopping City, Ordsall Hall, Cadishead Park, Eccles Church Street, Castle Community Centre & Ivy St Park, Peel Park Community Little Hulton, Boothstown Community Centre and Buile Hill Park. We hope the centenary programme represents people from as many neighbourhoods and communities as possible.

Part of Salford 100, celebrating one hundred years of our city. Taking place across all of Salford and finishing with a fantastic finale this autumn. Find out more at: salford100.org.uk. The cultural programme is co-produced by Walk the Plank and From The Other.
