Good morning, Warrington! Mike here with your midweek update. The week’s halfway through, so take a break, catch up on the latest local happenings, and see what’s worth checking out in town.

In today’s From Warrington:

• 🥕 Harvest Festival In The Sky

• ☕️ Macmillan Coffee Mornings Across The Town

• 🏢 Were You Sad To See New Town House Get Demolished?

• 🏘️ House Of The Week

• ✅ And lots more!

Grab your brew (or maybe you are still in bed), and let’s get to it.

Harvest Festival In The Sky 🥕 

Did you know that Warrington has a sky garden that most people don’t know about? It's on top of the Golden Square Car Park (take the lift right to the top), where you will find a community garden. I took my brew up here one day, and it was just a nice place to escape the world for a bit.

They are having their harvest festival on Saturday, September 28th, 10am - 1pm where you can come and collect some free produce (donations are welcome). Check out this link for more info.

Here are a few pictures from earlier in the year, when the sun was out, but the vegetables weren’t fully grown.

MacMillan Coffee Mornings ☕️ 

Friday the 27th of September is Macmillan Coffee Morning, so there will be plenty of these going on across the town that you can take part in.

Here are a selection of the ones that are going ahead that we could find, but there will be a lot more!

• Statham Lodge - 10:30am | You can pop in between 10.30am and 12.30pm for some tea, coffee and cake on us for a small donation to Macmillan. We will also have a raffle with prizes up for grabs.

Were You Sad To See New Town House Get Demolished? 🏢 

This was one of the ugliest buildings in the town centre. Judging by what I have read, most people were happy to see it get knocked down. But perhaps some of you miss it. Apparently, it will be replaced by bigger, taller apartment blocks.

Tim Hortons Autumn Menu Is Out ☕️ 🍁 

If you didn’t already know, we are lucky to have two Tim Hortons in Warrington: one in the town centre and the other at Omega. If you are a fan, you might want to know that their autumn menu is out.
