Good morning, Warrington. This is The Warrington Scoop.

Did you get to any of the events we mentioned last time—the Makers Market, Parkrun, or the Lunar New Year celebrations? If you did, let us know what you thought. It was a big weekend in town, and there’s plenty more coming up. Here’s what’s happening this week…

In today's edition:

• Walk & Talk at Risley Moss 🚶‍♂️ 

• Chat, Coffee and Create 🎨 

• Plenty of Things To Do Midweek 📆 

• Warrington Wordle is back 🧠 

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

Walk & Talk (Risley Moss) 🚶 

Andys Man Club Warrington is hosting a Walk & Talk at Risley Moss Nature Reserve on Sunday, 16th February, at 10:00 AM, meeting at the Visitor Centre.

This is a relaxed way to get out in nature, have a chat, and meet the AMC Warrington team. If you’ve thought about coming along but feel unsure, this is a great first step.

Everyone’s welcome—men, women, kids, and even dogs. 🐾 No pressure, just a friendly stroll and good company.

More information on their Facebook.

Chat, Coffee and Create 🎨 

Looking for a warm, welcoming place to go without spending a fortune? Bloomin’ Art now hosts a Thursday drop-in where you can create, chat, or just enjoy a brew for £5.

This friendly, community-led group was started by some of their amazing mature students who wanted a relaxed, affordable space to spend time together. Stay for a couple of hours or the full six hours—it’s up to you.

No pressure, no experience needed—just pop in and say hello. Ask for Gillianne, Rach, or Mel when you arrive.

Here is their Facebook page where you can message them for more info, etc.
