We’re proud to unveil our Culture 26; Made in Halton film, starring Waterloo Road actress and Halton local Alicia Forde, filmed across the borough – it’s a celebration of all things cultural!
Because culture doesn’t have borders, it has bridges. It’s home grown, shaped by our voices, our stories, our makers and creators. It’s our art, our music, our literature, our accent - the old towns and the new. Where science meets imagination and where local ideas reach the world!
Culture isn’t just in Halton, it is Made in Halton and we’re all part of it.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in launching ‘Winds of Change’ a New Street mural yesterday. Created by artist Tony Mallon @mallon_art and shaped by the people of Halton, through memories, relatives, their words and emotions.
This is art by and for the people of Halton, and so it was only fitting that families and groups from across Halton joined the celebrations. Halton Day Services Samba Band set the beat while Halton sporting legends inspired new fans. And singer songwriter Lee Wylding closed out the celebrations with a song inspired by the people and history of Halton.
If you want to see ‘Winds of Change’ visit New Street, Widnes (between the Range and Boots)
Music from Lee Wylding @thefarnorthmusic - ‘Two Bridges - An Anthem for Halton’
📖 We're celebrating and saying a heartfelt thank you to our library workers on #NationalLibraryWorkersDay.
From welcoming visitors with a friendly smile, to connecting people with information, learning opportunities, and support, our library teams play a vital role in our community every single day. Their dedication, knowledge, and passion create safe, inclusive spaces where people of all ages can learn, connect, and thrive.
Whether it’s supporting lifelong learning, helping someone discover a new passion, guiding digital skills, or simply being there when someone needs help, the impact of library workers goes far beyond the shelves.
Happy National Library Workers Day!

🛍️ Last week @widnesmarket held their 2026 Student Trading day with it being the most successful yet! Welcoming a record number of participating students and delivering an exceptional showcase of young entrepreneurial talents.
🧑🎓 140 students from @riverside_coll and @crontoncoll operated 38 fledgling businesses, selling a diverse range of products and services with three awards being presented in recognition of outstanding performance. These were best marketing, best products and best overall stall.
A donation of £183 was also made to Halton Haven Hospice, money raised by all student businesses on the day which had been pooled together.
Preparations will soon begin for Student Trading Day 2027!!
