"Excellent park for a decent length walk, plenty of wildlife along the way. There are many birds and a couple of foxes around dusk. There is also plenty of space and singing birds."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Tucked away from Warrington’s main town centre, where you will find all your standard high street shops and some small independent boutiques too, you will find Woolston Park. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning or sunny weekday after work, Woolston Park is a much-loved spot by local people."

"Treat the family to a day out at Brockholes, boasting the UK’s first floating visitor village and the 250-acre Lancashire Wildlife Trust nature reserve. Whilst you’re ambling along the River Ribble and the nearby lakes, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife. What’s more, you’ll be able to visit year-round with free admission!"

"The Trafford Ecology Park is tucked away in the industrial Trafford Park behind an oil depot and is a registered Biological Important site and a true oasis of wildlife. The park is spread across an area of eleven acres and is a true delight for a nature enthusiast."

"A unique, family owned art café where you can get creative whilst enjoying a fresh, locally sourced menu. Paint, stitch or sculpt as you enjoy a craft ale or artisan coffee and homemade cake – you will enjoy it as much as the kids!. A clay imprint of your family’s handprints could be the perfect souvenir of your trip."

"Dirty Martini are stylish cocktail bars with venues across London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds & Manchester. “With glamorous interiors, bespoke cocktails and late night DJs, Dirty Martini is the perfect venue for any celebration or just after work cocktails. Plus get ready for the best happy hour in town.”  They offer a Martini Brunch “Join us every weekend to enjoy bottomless Pink & Blood Orange G&Ts, Martinis and Prosecco, plus all our favourite foods served in our beautiful brunch birdcage.”  A choice of Bottomless Pink & Blood Orange G&Ts, Martinis & Prosecco will be served for 90 minutes."

"Dirty Martini’s bottomless brunch offer is one of my all-time favourites, mostly because the food gets served in a birdcage, which is just so cute (and perfect for Instagram, obviously!). For £35pp, you get a brunch birdcage to share between two, which has a bunch of amazing little dishes, as well as ninety minutes of bottomless pink and blood orange G&Ts, martinis and prosecco. It wouldn’t be brunch at Dirty Martini without a martini, right?"

"Discover the fascinating history of Adlington Hall as you tour The Great Hall, the chapel, oak-panelled dining room, the Minstrel’s Gallery, the number 10 bedroom, and more. Alongside the Great Organ, visitors can enjoy the original furniture, paintings, and décor of the building, or wander the gardens, attempt the maze, or enjoy a slice of homemade cake and a cup of tea in the tea room. I Opening Times: Public open days run on Sundays and Bank Holidays during April and September."

"A tremendous mixture of styles, Adlington Hall was founded at the end of the 15th century and then reworked in the 18th century. So while the north and east facades have romantic black and white timber framing the south and west wings are brick built, with a solemn Palladian portico. Adlington is hired out for weddings, but on Sundays between April and October the house and gardens are open to visitors."

"People who think vegans just eat boring salads have clearly never heard of The Thirsty Scholar. This vegan pub spends most of its time playing host to bands, comedy nights and poetry readings, serving up a menu of hearty grub with a plant-based twist."

"Another one that you'll have to exercise patience for is the RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music), which is - understandably - prioritising the return of students and tutors. You can see the latest updates at www.rncm.ac.uk."

"The Royal Northern College of Music is an internationally acclaimed conservatoire, as well as an eclectic performance venue delivering a diverse programme of music and opera performances."

"Contact Theatre will be heading out across Manchester this summer for a series of outdoor performances. Contact is an Oxford Road theatre and performing arts venue creating and producing its own shows, as well as hosting tours from the world’s best theatre companies. Contact will be heading out across the city this summer, delivering a series of outdoor performances before its building reopens to the public in September 2021."
