Good morning, to all 16,623 of you. Mike here. This is The Warrington Scoop.

There comes a morning each October when you step outside and decide the big coat is back. Has that been you this week? Or was it the first time you put the heating on?

Grab your favourite brew, and let's start. ☕️

P.s. New around here? Our Monday email is the what’s on guide, and you can view a web copy of that here.

🤣 Who’s pulled one of these faces while being sat at the Cockhedge Roundabout? I will never get bored of making these!

⛽ Not just Warrington, but did you know that Google Maps now shows you up to date petrol station prices?

We generally only talk about the positive stuff, but this was pretty big news yesterday. Fiddlers Ferry was on fire and here is a little video that a Scoop reader sent over for us.

😃 We are going to start posting more on TikTok, so if that is your platform of choice, please come and say hello over there.

🎸 Thelwall's own acoustic blues guitarist Pete Price is playing a hometown show at Winmarleigh House on Friday 27th November at 7:30pm. He's played festivals across Europe and North America, and capacity is very limited, so if you fancy it, tickets are on sale now.

🧟 How good does this sound? Batida Rio’s zombie drummers are parading from Sankey Street to Warrington Market on Friday 30th October, 7pm to 8pm, with zombie dancers from Northern Starr joining them. It’s all raising money for Helping Hands Changing Lives CIC, so bring some change for the buckets!

🎭 Lymm Rugby Club's adult panto is back for its 40th year with Snow White and the Magnificent Seven, with ten performances over three weekends from late November. Tickets are on sale now at lymmrugby.co.uk.

📚 Love books but not keen on set reading lists? Warrington Reading Club meets monthly at Costa in the Odeon at Westbrook for a quick chat about books, then an hour of reading your own in peace. Next meets are Saturday 7th November and 5th December at 9.30am.

🎶 The sound bath at Warrington Museum is back by popular demand. Run with Soul Space, it’s over an hour of pure calm at 1pm on Wednesday 25th November, and it’s free thanks to Lottery funding. Bring something comfy to lie on and they’ll sort the rest.

🎃 Spooky stall holders are heading to L.E.T.S Cafe at Hudsons at Whitemoss Garden Centre tomorrow for their Enchanted Craft Market, 10am till 4pm. Come down, have a mooch and see what the small local businesses have been creating!

Maybe it’s just me… but I love watching random walking tours on YouTube of places I might be visiting. I came across this one of Warrington, which is pretty. Send it off to a friend whos moved out of Warrington to show them what it’s like nowadays.

This one's for anyone who has ever walked past an old building and wondered what it would be like to live there.

It's a former school master's house on Chapel Road in Penketh, and you can still feel it. There are original fireplaces and lovely woodwork, but it's far from stuck in the past. The kitchen is bespoke, with a range cooker and a Belfast sink, and there's underfloor heating in the hallway, dining room and kitchen, which sounds very good on a cold morning. You get two bedrooms, a lounge and a separate dining room, and a bathroom with a standalone bath.

It's on for offers over £300,000, and the price has just come down. Have a look here on Rightmove.

Last Friday's Wordle had some of you cracking it in one guess (hello, Alison) and some of you needing a few more tries. Today's word has a Warrington connection again, so put your thinking cap on, then reply and tell me how many goes it took.
