Warrington's Hottest Night Spot

Advantages: good music, good atmosphere
Disadvantages: a bit samey some nights

...Being a student in Warrington at the moment we have to make a most of the nightlife offered. To be honest most of the time I do prefer to pay extra and head out to Manchester or Liverpool for a more livelier night but when I can't afford the extra taxi trip I will settle for what Warrington has to offer. Now, on Bridge Street is where most of the clubs are in Warrington they all are within walking distance so that is what makes it a lot better here if you want to go somewhere different. A place that most people tend to go to is the club Panama Jacks (PJ's to the locals); it is a place people either love or hate but I don't mind going here because you get a good mix of music. So as you walk outside of PJ's you can usually see inside the club and on Friday and Saturday nights there is always a long queue outside here which does...

Gullivers World Theme Park (Warrington)

Advantages: Great day out for kids age 5 - 11, fun for adults too!
Disadvantages: Restaurant prices for meals are expensive

...The summer holidays are here, well 4 more weeks to go hoooray! anyway, i always find it hard come the holidays trying to figure out what i'm going to do with my 5 year old daughter to keep her occupied and out of trouble!! after a few days out already we decided to try Gullivers World in Warrington, which is roughly 25 minutes away from where we live, we set off early (about 9:15am, the park opens at 10:30 am) so thought we had plenty of time to get there, unfortunately we got lost ending up driving around Warrington town centre for 20 minutes trying to find any signs to point us in the right direction! luckily, by pure chance we drove up some main road and spotted a sign, so 10 minutes later we arrived at the park, spot on 10:30am, there was quite a few people there already, so the queue to get in wasn't too bad, the prices were...

Gullivers World - Warrington

Advantages: Few queues for rides
Disadvantages: Queues for food, standard of toilets

...As it was coming up to my daughter's 3rd birthday I decided to take her to Gulliver's World in Warrington. I knew it would be better suited to her than the likes of Alton Towers etc as it caters for the very young. When we arrived we noticed it was £10.30 for Adults and also £10.30 for children, however children under 90cm were free. My daughter was a little over 90cm so we had to pay the £10.30. I was a little annoyed at this, however I realised that we had paid £9 for a wristband a month ago at Knowsley Safari Park for unlimited rides, so it wasn?t too bad. Plus the majority of the rides were catered for her age range. We had arrived at lunch time so decided to get something to eat. After waiting 20 mins to be served (only 1 couple in front of us!) we decided we?d try somewhere else later. Little did we know we?d later come to...

Jedi knight returns to scene of early crimes

Advantages: Central location, decent prices
Disadvantages: Room might get cold in winter

...INTRODUCTION (INCORPORATING YOUTHFUL REMINISCENCE) Ah Warrington; a place I am somewhat familiar with, having spent the first 18 years of my life here. After that, however, a combination of University and career took me away from my roots. And now I find myself back on a week?s business trip. I?d briefly visited last year for a couple of hours walk around the town centre, so much of the shock of change (or, for the most part, no change at all ? the Marks & Spencers sign hasn?t changed in 30 years) has been absorbed already. But I was never aware of the Travelodge, here for about a decade and consequently superseding my local knowledge. For many people, and especially long exiled Northerners down south, returning to their hometown they no longer know is a strange experience. Personally, I find it analogous to Luke Skywalker going...

Near Death Experience

Advantages: Not many - it has rides that don't kill.
Disadvantages: But they come close

...For clarity, this is the review of Gullivers in Warrington - not Milton Keynes or Matlock. This is going to be one of those reviews where I'm going to be squeezing every last bit from my memory and failing. It wasn't long since I last went . last summer I think but as I sit here I struggle to remember the finer points. There may not have been any. It's possible. Likely. Well, certain. The thing is that this, my wife decided, was to be a birthday treat for me. In other words, we needed to do something in the sprawl of the summer fore the kids and guess what - hey, my birthdays in the summer isn't it? Much like having a Happy Birthday Vasectomy or trapping my todger in the patio doors to add some spice to a dull winter Sunday. Don't get me wrong. I like the fairground but we now suffer from being adrenalin junkies and I want my...

YMCA or VILLAGE HOTEL?

Advantages: A comfortable well equipped hotel in Warrington
Disadvantages: Mainly suited to the business traveller

We would probably choose to eat in a local restaurant rather than the Village Pub, but then again we didn't try Salingers restaurant so perhaps we'd have fared better there. °º??º°"?¨¨?"°º??º°"?¨¨?"°º??º°"?¨¨¨?"°º??º°"?¨¨¨?"°º CONTACT DETAILS The Village Hotel & Leisure Club Centre Park Warrington Cheshire WA1 1QA Telephone: 01925 240000 Facsimile: 01925 445240 www.village-hotels.co.uk N.B.

Snobby Sophistication

Advantages: classy layout, good music
Disadvantages: couldn't relax here

...I?m someone who likes going on a night out but does like to change it about where I end up going because there?s nothing more tedious then knowing every week what clubs or bars you will be going to all of the time. I listen to what friends say or look around myself but am always trying out new clubs but I suppose that is part of the student lifestyle. Being a student in Warrington, although it does have some good clubs it?s not the best place to go out more than once a week as it doesn?t really have a lot of difference to offer so this is why one nigh a group of us headed out to a place called Stockton Heath. Stockton Heath is still considered Warrington but it is just one of the boroughs so basically it?s just the outskirts. It is concerned the more upmarket area in Warrington though so knowing that I knew the dress sense and price...

Your friendly Innkeeper

Advantages: Very reasonable opening offers
Disadvantages: Cant get any cheaper, can it?

...cereals, yoghurt,fruit, rolls and croissants, also tea, coffee and fruit juice. Cost:- varies between lodges, however the special offer I saw was £29.95 for Friday and Saturday Night, with a weekend offer of Sunday night free, so I got Friday night to Monday morning for the total sum of £59.90 for 2 including breakfast (if I had young children with me the price would be the same. Normal prices appear to start from £39.95 for the room. They now have over 50 lodges and I would recommend that you book quickly while the offers are still available. (At the moment they have 7 lodges with this special offer price, these are at Cramlington, Leeds,Derby, Hull, Rugby, Southgate and Warrington Their website is http://www.innkeeperslodge.com and telephone number for booking is 0870 243 0500. Bookings can only be made by telephone at the moment...

Tesco Cafe or Municipal Dump! Don't Go!

Advantages: None unless you want rotten food
Disadvantages: it lets down the store

...On a recent trip Mr Bubbles were in our new plush Tesco Supermarket in Warrington and I thought great as a treat we will go and have something to eat afterwards and test out the new Cafe, which is something we had been meaning to do since it opened. This is our experience of our Tesco Cafe at the new supermarket store. Well shopping was nearly over and done with and Mr Bubbles was slavering at the mouth at the sheer thought of his rather rotund gut been filled up. Now all stores are different layout but generally with the same sort of furniture. Our Tesco Cafe is stuck in the corner of the Supermarket and it takes you a while to realise it is there. On the way to the Cafe there is a trolley secure site, which you can park your trolleys in there and pay a pound and you shut the door and you get to keep the key until you have...
