“It’s good for Kirkham and it’s good for Wesham. We met up last Monday, with all of the pubs, to plan the crawl. We’ve been talking through lots of ideas, and now we have a date which will be revealed in due course.”

A date has been set for an exciting new pub crawl in Kirkham after an agreement was reached last week between 12 different venues and a town councillor.

Kirkham Town Councillor Adam Brierley is behind plans to bring the town’s pub crawl back, and he told the Gazette that plans are ‘now in place’ and a date ‘has been set’.

“I’m trying to build some hype around the pub crawl now,” said Cllr Brierley. “On Bank Holiday weekend, there were a few people saying, ‘I wish we had a pub crawl back in Kirkham’. I asked around and the support was really good, so I got in touch with all of the pubs and got us all together.

“It’s good for Kirkham and it’s good for Wesham. We met up last Monday, with all of the pubs, to plan the crawl. We’ve been talking through lots of ideas, and now we have a date which will be revealed in due course.

“We want to support the pubs. This is the sort of event that we want in Kirkham, to support the town, and we want all of the pubs to be busy. All of the pubs are on board, as well as the other places like the Conservative and Cricket Clubs and some of the bars, so now it's about building it up.

“Kirkham is making a massive resurgence now. There’s a proper buzz on a Friday and Saturday night, and Kirkham is definitely on the up. Seeing the town as it was compared to now, it’s a lovely place to live at the minute.”
