Creamfields, New Bar on Palmyra Square, What's On This Week

Good morning, Warrington. This is From Warrington. We make every email we write fun and easy to read in just a few minutes.

In today’s From Warrington:

  • 🎉 Creamfields

  • 🍸️ New bar on Palmyra Square

  • 🗓️ What’s On this week

Let’s get to it.

Creamfields Is On this Week 🎉 🎶 

Many people moan about Creamfields, but I think it's good for the town, as it brings plenty of money into the area. However, it brings a lot of traffic, so we added it to inform you that you might want to avoid the area over the bank holiday if you are not attending the event. If you see people in the town centre dressed in festival gear, they will likely head to Creamfields.

What details do you need to know?

  • It’s on from Thursday the 22nd to Sunday the 25th in Daresbury.

  • People will arrive on Thursday, and many will leave on bank holiday Monday. Expect traffic to be busy all around during the weekend, and allow extra time if you have to travel through the area.

  • There are still tickets left, which you can buy here.

  • Bank Quay station will be very busy.

Arcadia Yard Opens On Palmyra Square 🍸️ 

We saw signs for this a while back, and it's been open for a few weeks. We haven’t had a chance to call in yet, but we hope to do so over the next few weeks, and we can tell you more about it.

It looks like a great little bar with Erdinger on tap!

Palmyra Square is slowly being taken over by new bars and restaurants. Recently, we walked about Patina, which will also be a new restaurant on the square. This is the nicer part of town to come out for a drink, and this new bar makes a nice addition to what is already there.

Have you visited Arcadia? If so, let me know what it’s like.

Where Were We On Friday? 📸 

If you missed Friday's " Guess where we were," the answer was on top of the Golden Square car park! Based on some replies I received, it was quite a tricky one.
