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

Before the day runs away with you, here’s a quick wander through what’s been happening around town in a nice 3-minute read/scroll 🙂 

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

P.S. If you are new here, we send out an email on Mondays that is our big what’s-on guide for the week, and you can find a web copy here.

If you’re looking for something to do then foot golf course at T1 has just reopened this year. It’s just £6 per person and a good way to get the kids (and grown-ups) outside for a bit.

They also have:

• Two brand new padel courts

• An indoor football pitch

• A newly opened carp fishing lake

• A cafe serving food all day

If you pop down, tell them you saw it in The Warrington Scoop.

Check them out on their website, Instagram and Facebook.

From The Scoop Socials 📱 

It’s been a busy on the Scoop socials lately with a real mix of places you might not know about (a big part of the Scoop) as well as a few where are we videos that you all seem to like.

This was the most popular video below on Facebook, with over 150k views, of a seal spotted in the Mersey… don’t worry, he (or she) is fine and apparently seen down there quite a bit.

🤔 Where are we in this video? A lot of people commented about walking on the wall when they were younger.

💥 Did you know theres a comic book shop upstairs in the market? Well…. now you do!

📷️ I was walking down Bridge Street and couldn’t quite help notice the contrast between the lower and upper parts of this building.

🍭 Theres a sweet shop in Warrington Market thats been in the town for 75 years, and judging by the comments, you all love it.

Warrington Image of the Week 📸 

Steve, a Warrington based photographer got in touch to share a photo that he had taken and I said I would share it with the Scoop readers for him. He has done a lovely job of framing the image with the 2 bridges over the Manchester Ship Canal. Feel free to give him a follow.

Don’t forget we have the Warrington Scoop podcast as well. Our latest episode focused on men's mental health, but you can listen to the back catalog of all our episodes here.
