As well as a green heart, Warrington also offers a wealth of culture - with a varied and active events programme hosted by the Parr Hall and Pyramid Arts Centre and other venues. 

Golden Gates Shopping centre and a revitalised town centre based around the newly opened Time Square make Warrington a desirable shopping destination. That's not forgetting Gemini Retail Park, home to significant shopping outlets, including one of the largest UK Marks & Spencers stores. 

You'll never be short of a place to meet family and friends with a wealth of cafés, bars and pubs in the town centre, Stockton Heath, Lymm, Thelwall and other outlying areas. And if sport is your thing - welcome to one of the biggest rugby league towns in the North West. Host to the hugely successful Warrington Wolves.
