What is the Warrington BID? What does it do? And how does it work for Warrington?

Andrea Morley joins us from the Warrington Business Improvement District to explain exactly what the BID does for our town.

Our small business of the month for December is Pop & Perch, an independent greeting card company, which makes pop-out wooden cards for all occasions. Mike speaks to the owner, Emma.

Plus, our December Event Guide is here!

What is TEDx? How did TED Talks come to Warrington? Why should you go?

TEDx is the local, self-organised version of TED Talks. TED believes that ideas change everything, so offers a platform for people to share their own ideas, on any subject, with the world.

After a year away, TEDx Warrington is back with a series of talks and performances based around the theme of identity and purpose. It takes place on 2nd December at the Warrington Youth Zone, so we chat to Licensee and Curator of the event, Kirsty James, to find out more.

This month's featured independent local business is Mamars Artisan Bakery and Delicatessen. We talk to the owner, Sonia about everything Mamars has to offer.
