Calling all cheesy quavers: forget Ushuaïa and Ocean Beach, this year we brought Balearic beats to Golden Square with a live orchestra (yes, you read that correctly), for a club night like never before. Combining world-renowned mixes from club DJ Andy Joyce, famed for his residencies at the super-clubs Pacha, Amnesia, Eden and Café Mambo, set to live orchestra, Symphonic Ibiza is a fusion of euphoric anthems and spine-tingling strings. We’re not just talking goosebump-worthy beats but a stunning spectacle that was not to be missed. GS & HC Promotions loved seeing you at Warrington’s official summer closing party. Stay tuned for further updates on next year’s event! GOOD LUCK RHIANNON! The unbeaten Warrington lightweight boxer Rhiannon Dixon returned back to the ring with a bang – we’re so proud to have sponsored her for her fight which of course she smashed! Congratulations Rhiannon Before this fight the pharmacist-turned-fighter hadn’t had a match since the end of 2019, when the pandemic pulled the plug on a fight scheduled for last March, and any further fixtures. As she worked on the frontline in the meantime, boxing was her release, and on the 12th September in the Premier Suite, Bolton Whites Hotel, the gloves were finally back on. It’s been an excruciating wait for Rhiannon, but she credits the power of her mind in mental agility as well as physical prowess on her side. DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT In Warrington, an average of 19 people die from suicide every year. There are support systems available, but often those who struggle don’t hear of it quickly enough. On Friday the 10th of September five employees from Warrington’s Golden Square Shopping centre took part in this year’s ‘Darkness into Light Walk’ to mark Suicide Prevention Day. The second annual walk took place between 2:30am and 7am from Widnes to Warrington, with the idea being that it symbolises that there can be a move from dark to light, or from despair to hope. SUMMER SOUNDS IN THE SQUARE! Summer 21′ saw Golden Square bring you your favourite summer sounds in the Square every Friday & Saturday from 6pm – 10:30 pm.
