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

If you ever feel like you’re out of the loop with what’s happening around Warrington, this should sort that, because it’s basically everything I’ve noticed lately in one place (minus the crime and politics)

In today’s Scoop:

• Brewery open day with food 🍺 

• Easter family fun fayre 🥳 

• Local news from the papers (feel-good news only) 📰 

• Warrington Wordle 🧠 

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

Sponsored by Statham Lodge

Just outside Lymm, you’ll find Statham Lodge, a Georgian manor house set within 11 acres of private grounds. It’s a popular place for weddings, events, and special occasions across the North West, with stylish rooms, a bar, and space to host everything from small gatherings to larger celebrations.

You can join them for Sunday lunch each week, enjoy afternoon tea served daily from 12–4 (£25 per person), or book the venue for weddings, parties, and private functions. Find out more on their website or Facebook. You can also email them at [email protected] or call them on 01925 752 204.

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

Brewery open day at 4T’s 🍺 

I've had a few emails from Scoop readers over the past few months saying how much they loved the 4T's open days, so I wanted to make sure you knew about this one.
If you haven't been before, 4T's is a proper Warrington success story. They've been brewing award-winning ales and craft beers right here in Latchford for over 15 years, and once a month they open the brewery up and turn it into a tap room for the weekend. Y
