Good morning, Warrington. Mike here. This is The Warrington Scoop, your quick 4-minute read of what’s happening around town.

Thanks for opening the Scoop today. School holidays are starting, and I’ve had a few people ask for help finding things to do. I’ve put together some ideas to keep everyone entertained.

In today’s Scoop:

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

This could have been 10,000 words and 100 listings, but this is the Scoop, and we know you don’t have all day, so we picked out some highlights.

In the poll last week the top result was things 20/30 minutes away so I’ve covered that as well as some highlights from Warrington.

This is a mix of activities for children and adults.
