A century or so ago, it was common across the country for churches to organise a walking day when groups such as Scouts, Guides and bands would march with their banners around the locality. Few of these events survive today, and the walk at Warrington is the best-known of the survivors. Around 4000 people take part in the perambulation with pipe bands,marching bands, banners and representatives from the local churches of all denominations.After the event they either go go back to a local pub,club or comunity event were there is entertainent on including bouncy castles,inflatable slides,rodeo bulls etc
