A FREE event is taking place in Warrington this weekend.

This is following the success of Cheshire's Museum of Policing’s open days over the summer which saw more than a thousand people pay a visit to the cells for the free open Wednesday events.

At this Saturday's event, there will be an armed response vehicle, a display by police dogs, a drone unit, and performances from the police band throughout the day.

“These are always great days and brilliant for young and old alike,” a spokesperson for the museum said.

It is free for all to attend and will take place on Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

Cheshire’s Museum of Policing is home to a large collection of exhibits and artefacts spanning a long history of policing in the county.
