Good morning, Warrington. Mike here. This is The Warrington Scoop.

We received an email the other week saying they love to print out a copy of this email, and it's been handed out to the residents of the care home she works in. It’s great to hear that it’s read by those who don’t even have emails 😄

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

If your kitchen is looking a bit tired but a full refit feels like too much, Dream Doors Warrington specialise in replacement kitchen doors, worktops and appliances, giving your kitchen a brand new look without the brand new kitchen price tag. It costs about 50% less than a fully fitted kitchen and can be installed in just 2 to 3 days.

Right now, they are also offering £600 of free storage, exclusively through their Warrington showroom, until 30th June 2026. They are a family run business based in Grappenhall with a 9.8 out of 10 rating on Checkatrade. Find out more and get a free estimate on Facebook, Instagram, or their website.

Here are some positive stories from around the town over the past few days.

🏊 A new bid to save Woolston Neighbourhood Hub from permanent closure is under way, with Woolston Parish Council nominating the building as an asset of community value. Over 3,600 consultation responses have already been submitted by residents calling for it to be saved. (Warrington Worldwide)

🎬 A gangster film shot in Warrington in 2024 is coming to Apple TV on 8th June. Fall to the Top was filmed at locations including Doherty's Irish Bar on Bold Street and The Blue Bell on Horsemarket Street, and features Paul Chuckle in a surprisingly dark role. (Warrington Guardian)

🌊 Three Warrington police officers are to receive bravery awards after pulling a woman from the River Mersey in November. PC Alex Hill entered the fast-flowing water at night to bring her to safety, while PCs Adam Keenan and Tom Pye administered emergency first aid. The woman has since made a full recovery. Well deserved, lads. (Warrington Worldwide)

This week, we saw a post on the We are Warrington Facebook page about the “skittles,” as they're called, but they are actually Guardians. Designed by the late American creator, Howard Ben Tre, the artworks are in a circle around the fountains and were completed in 1999 as part of a major transformation for Warrington town centre.

The video got a lot of negative comments (I thought it might) regarding the sculptures, but here they are, if you are new to the town and haven’t seen them before

☕ The cafe in Alexandra Park Pavilion, WA4 2UT, is opening for the summer season on Saturday, 6th June, from 2pm to 4pm until the end of August. The cafe is ran by volunteers from Friends of Alexandra Park (FOAP) and all the proceeds go towards the park. There will be special opening hours when part of Stockton Heath festival on Sat 4th July and Sunday 5th July at 1pm until 5pm with bowling taster sessions from 2pm.

👗 The shout-outs section is usually positive, but we have heard that the M&S discount store on Riverside retail park will be closing on June the 20th (less than a year after it opened). Did you ever go there? I heard mixed things about it.

🏍️ Guy Martin is bringing his first ever stage tour to Parr Hall on Sunday 1st November. Expect untold stories from his record-breaking motorbike career and TV adventures. Tickets from £32.50, on sale this Friday at 10am at parrhall.culturewarrington.org

🧸 Gonk World UK has opened in Warrington! If you're not familiar, Gonk World is a dedicated gonk shop and they're now open this weekend, Saturday 10am to 5pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm. Opening hours are still being finalised so keep an eye on their Facebook page.

☕ CBK Coffee turned 1 this week (It’s a place I’ve sat in and written many of these newsletters). If you haven’t been before, pop down and give Kyle a visit. It’s run by just him, and he makes amazing coffee. Let him know you saw him in the Scoop if you go in.

🍺 Great news….. Warrington Oktoberfest is back for 2026. This didn’t end up going ahead last year. It will take place on the 9th and 10th of October and a lot of money will be raised for charity as well.

🔥 Huge congratulations to To-Pie-For, who have been named best bakery in the North West for the second year running! Warrington representing once again.

☕ Something new is coming to Parr's Bank, (just opposite the bus station). SOMA is a new coffee and chai house opening soon, promising specialty coffee, artisan chai and brunch in a relaxed, welcoming space. One to keep an eye on. Follow soma.parrsbank on Instagram for updates!

🍰 Joanne Lynda's Cake Shed at 67 is opening this Saturday 6th June from 10am at 67 Duckworth Grove in Padgate. If you haven't come across them before, they make gorgeous homemade cakes and treats. It's until sold out so don't leave it too late! Check them out on Facebook beforehand to see what's on offer.

I had a great reply last week from a reader who told me that the Warrington six letter Wordles are harder than the ones that the New York Times…… not sure if thats a positive or negative thing 😃 haha.

Anyway, here's your FIVE-letter wordle this week! Enjoy!
