celebrates
The Year
of Wonder
From celebrating the Welsh Football Association being founded at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, or the famous bells in the tower at St Giles’ Church having a world class technology upgrade, or the stately gardens being opened at Ruabon Road Garden Cemetery for the first time, or celebrating the Art Treasures and Industrial Exhibition which was one of the largest art exhibitions in the UK in its day - make no doubt about it, in 1876 Wrexham appeared able to command the attention of the whole world with something noteworthy happening almost every single day of the year.
Wrexham might be well known now but it was world famous once before!

St
David's
Day
Sunday 1st March festival on Queen's Square and parade around town was all about one thing - celebration! It was celebration of St David's Day- and Wrexham did us proud!
From live music provided by our friends WrexFest and Wrexham faithful The Scene (also featured last summer at the end of this page), we were kept going with coffees from bank Street Social and refreshed with ciders from fellow Visit Wrexham supporters Wrexham Cider. It was nothing short of a great family day out!
Although not an official public holiday in Wales or the UK, it has strong cultural importance and is marked by events across the country and in Welsh communities worldwide. St David's legacy lives on through his teachings and the maxim "Do the little things in life," might be old fashioned - but it's still relevant today - and maybe now more so than ever.
