The Earth (Gaia) is coming to Warrington
We are unbelievably excited to announce that an inspiring sculpture of the Earth is coming to Warrington. Gaia is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram which will be coming to Queens Garden this spring. It ties in perfectly with the environmental theme and events that will be happening across Warrington town centre over the upcoming months. 
Keep an eye on our website where there are more details - the full programme will also be added here at a later date! |

Support your Town, to Grow your Town!
Recently, Warrington was ranked the 20th best town or city in the UK for new, independent businesses to set up shop. At Warrington BID, we have made it our mission to regenerate the town centre, and despite the challenges faced by the high street due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Warrington town centre has been filling up with independent businesses such as Heavenly Desserts, Babba Restaurant, Kingswood Candle Company, Bamboo Botanicals and many more. So, with our town growing rapidly, we have selected a few businesses which you should check out, if you haven’t already.

Warrington Business Grant
Are you a Warrington business in the hospitality and/or leisure sector? New grants will soon be available for up to £6,000 per business premises.
The Grant has been developed in recognition that the rise of the Omicron COVID-19 variant has caused some businesses to struggle during the winter of 2021 into 2022. The award is therefore a one-off payment to support qualifying businesses through this winter.
For more information on how to claim for the one-off business grants, visit: https://orlo.uk/ayazT
