Good morning, Warrington. This is The Warrington Scoop.

It’s hard to believe we’re nearly through April — one minute it’s Easter eggs, the next it’s pub garden weather (well… almost).

If you’re feeling like the year’s flying by, you’re not alone. But there’s plenty happening close to home to slow things down a bit — markets, live music and local events.

So grab a brew, find five quiet minutes, and let’s take a look at what’s going on in and around Warrington this week.

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

Poll Results: Where Do Warrington Locals Like to Visit

We asked: when you fancy a change of scenery, where do you go? The results are in — and they’re very Warrington.

🥇 Liverpool ran away with it, topping the list with almost 50 votes.
🥈 Chester and Manchester tied for second — solid picks for a wander and a brew.
🥉 Altrincham and Knutsford followed behind, with Lymm and Widnes all getting a bit of love too.

Wigan? Only one person voted for you. St Helens? Not a single vote. Ouch.

Thanks to everyone who joined in — new poll coming soon!
