As part of the town’s remembrance in this 30^th anniversary year, guests will be seated for an event in the town centre.

This event will take place from Market Gate, looking down towards Bridge Street.

The event is expected to begin at 12 noon and conclude at 12.45pm, with a one minute silence at 12.20pm.

We understand that many members of the public will want to pay their respects at the River of Life in the town centre and join in the one minute silence. Though the main Bridge Street thoroughfare will in large part be cordoned off for the event, there will still be a level of public access to Bridge Street - but this will be limited.

We expect that while people will still be able to access the town centre and local businesses, the town centre will be busy, so please be mindful of this if you are planning to visit.

Road closures

Road closures will be enforced from 5am on some key routes. Please visit the Warrington Bombing event page for the full list of road closures.
