Plans are now progressing to build a new Football Museum for Wales alongside a fully revamped Wrexham Museum on Regent Street.

The new ‘museum of two halves’ is going to be a major new national attraction for Wrexham City Centre, celebrating Welsh football, past and present, in all its diversity, alongside an enhanced, first-class venue for discovering the fascinating and eventful story of our region of north-east Wales.

Wrexham Council has now announced the revised dates for an open day to view the designs for the museum.

The special open day was previously postponed following the passing of The Queen, but the council has now confirmed when visitors will be welcomed to view the latest designs and speak to the design team.

The open day will now take place on Wednesday, October 26 at Wrexham Museum, Regent Street with both an afternoon and evening session available to attend at 1.30-pm-3.30pm and 6pm – 8pm respectively.

There will also be an online presentation taking place on Monday, October 24 from 6.30pm – 8pm with limited spaces available. For those interested in attending, they will need to fill in the form here and will receive a link to join on the day of the event.

The event is family friendly and appeals to all age groups who will be encouraged to share their thoughts and feedback on the plans.

Cllr Paul Roberts, lead member for partnerships and community safety said: “The design team has been making great progress with the plans for the new museums, so we’re delighted to offer this opportunity for the public to come and view the proposals up close, and online, and speak to the team in person.

“Over 500 people took part in the public consultation last year. The feedback received has helped inform the latest design plans and we’ve also assembled a number of specialist and community focus groups who are working closely with us throughout the project.”

“This is a huge development for Wrexham city centre which promises to attract new visitors from around the country and beyond so I hope as many people as possible will make the most of the opportunity to view the plans at this key stage of its development.”
