Clue HQ is a great way to get together with some friends and have some good, plain fun. It is a new venture in Warrington and is proving very popular. Clue HQ is a room escape experience, where, as a team, you must work together to crack the code and escape the room. Testing your cooperation skills, not to mention your patience, Clue HQ is a fun way to spend the afternoon and posing for a photo with your team, at the end, makes for a wonderful keepsake photo, too!

4. Sankey Valley Park

Sankey Valley Park is a wonderful location to blow those cobwebs away, get that heart rate up and partake in a brisk walk in Warrington’s most loved parkland. There is a lot of wildlife to observe here, including swans, ducks and geese. Sankey Valley Park is super close to Gulliver’s World and, as such, is very easy to find. And despite its close proximity to the theme park, it is still very quiet and peaceful.

Sankey Valley Park features artwork and sculptures that you can find and photograph. There are picnic benches available too and the park also features a BMX course, which is the only one of its kind in the town.

Walton Hall and Gardens looks especially lovely in the spring months when the tulips are in bloom and it is a perfect day out, if you have children, for there is so much space for them to run around and even a children’s zoo to explore! The Heritage Cafe saves you the hassle of packing a picnic!
