THE Skymaster in Warrington is undergoing an exciting refurbishment, becoming the first pub to reopen as a ‘Woodie’s’ family-focused pub on July 23rd, to offer shared good times for all the family, including a free pint for sharing memories.
The much-loved community pub at Apollo Park, Warrington, is being transformed with new features including Woodie’s Den, a magical woodland-themed area where kids will be able to let their imaginations run wild, with games, craft activities and special events such as discos, karaoke, and quizzes.
When the sun is shining, children will be able to explore the garden and let loose in the outdoor play area, while their parents relax nearby with a meal or drink in hand.
To celebrate the reopening, the pub is hosting an all-day family festival on Saturday 26th July, including a bouncy castle, live entertainment, kids’ crafts, live music and more!
Local families with babies born in the last 12 months will also be invited to be VIPs at the family festival, with newborns receiving a money-can’t-buy keepsake Woodie’s onesie.
To ensure that locals can feel part of the fabric of Woodie’s from the outset, Marston’s is offering local guests a ‘Pint For Your Past’ – giving away free pints in exchange for local stories and memories of The Skymaster, which will feature on a memory wall over the opening weekend.
Woodies Den
Alongside a menu of pub classics, The Skymaster will serve Marston’s award-winning kids’ menu and be home to the fantastical Woodie’s Sweet Factory, a self-serve bar where kids can swap magic tokens for treats to top their Woodie’s Sweet Factory Sundae. The Skymaster will also be offering a ‘Kids Eat for £1’ deal all summer long, with kids also able to eat for free every Wednesday, giving families affordable options for enjoying a meal out during the school holidays. In addition to the newly created family-focused areas, The Skymaster will elevate the comfortable and welcoming environment that locals love, with a new bar and designated areas designed for adults to enjoy a relaxed drink or meal.
The dining area
David and Dawn Moore, General Managers at The Skymaster, said: “We’re so excited to be the first Marston’s pub to be transforming into a Woodie’s. The Skymaster is such an important part of our local community, and we want to get as many local families involved as possible by sharing their pub memories during our opening weekend.
“We can’t wait to reopen our doors, show everyone what we’ve done to the place and welcome in local adults and kids to make some new memories together.”
The Skymaster is currently closed for refurbishment and will reopen with its new look on 23rd July.

These changes can make a local pub a much more inclusive space for the entire community. It’s a positive step that can truly enhance the local dining and social scene.
Been there several times before remodelling and was there today for the carvery. Made very welcome by David and Dawn. Carvery was lovely. Will certainly visit there again if in the area.
