Heritage Afternoon Tea (Hosted by the Mayor of Warrington) 🫖🍰 

Step back in time with the Mayor of Warrington’s event on Friday, 7th March 2025, at Warrington Town Hall from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM.

Discover the gripping tale of an 1851 murder on Lower Bank Street that once made national headlines but has since faded from memory. Zoe Chaddock, chair of the Culcheth Local History Group, will recount this fascinating piece of Warrington's history in her talk, Reward £100: The Story of a Warrington Murder.

Tickets are £15 and include a traditional afternoon tea with sandwiches and cake. A must for local history enthusiasts and those who enjoy a good mystery.
