Best Pubs around Select Security Stadium?

Widnes and its surrounding area of Runcorn are proud owners of several ‘ArcAngel’ pubs, which is awarded to pubs that promote safe and friendly nights out, making them ideal for visitors to Select Security Stadium.

Many of these pubs are within walking distance to the stadium as well. ‘The Four Topped Oak’ and the ‘Eight Towers’ in Widness are both popular options as well as the ‘Wellington Inn’ in nearby Hale Village.

There are a bunch of pubs in the Halton area, and they don’t tend to divide between “home” and ‘away” like with most football matches, so my recommendation is to walk around and just see what tickles your fancy. Something cool is that bars are being encouraged to join a Caring Pub Declaration, which aims to ensure customers are always kept safe and the atmosphere friendly, even when rival events are happening nearby. Pretty cool, right?
