AS the Warrington Guardian went to press, staff at Ikea Westbrook were attempting to smash a Guinness World Record for the biggest crayfish party.
Crayfish parties, a Swedish tradition, were held in stores up and down the country yesterday, Wednesday.
The parties see families come together at the peak of the crayfish season to enjoy as much of the shelled fish as they can eat, all washed down with traditional tipples.
Readers can find out if the record was broken in next week’s paper.
