IT has been confirmed that UKIP leader Nigel Farage will appear in Bolton Town Centre next week.

He will be in Victoria Square from about 2.30pm on Wednesday, ahead of speaking at an event at the Bolton Whites Hotel later in the evening.

Bolton UKIP chairman, Cllr Paul Richardson confirmed that his leader will arrive on the UKIP battle bus, which will park up in the square in the afternoon.

The Whites event, which is aimed at encouraging people to vote to leave the European Union on June 23, will also feature former Labour front bencher and anti-EU voice Kate Hoey.
