On Saturday, December 10, there will be the Christmas Maker's Market at Ty Pawb as well as the Wrexham Street Market on Henblas Street. 

In addition, the Wrexham Winter Festival and Christmas Market will take place in Queens Square on both Saturday and Sunday.

The various events will feature live music and entertainment, mince pies and mulled wine, and all imaginable craft and artisan products. 

Cllr Nigel Williams, lead member for economy and regeneration said: “I’d like to thank all the organisations that helped bring these markets to Wrexham.

“They bring a festive feel to the city centre and will hopefully bring in thousands of extra visitors, to enjoy the festivities and no doubt spend time in local shops and hospitality too.” 

In addition to the markets, visitors have been encouraged to explore Wrexham’s shops, pubs and cafés, for gift ideas and seasonal offerings to tempt visitors to explore further. 

Stallholder Mandy Hughes says she finds the markets very rewarding and lots of fun.

She added: "It’s great chatting to members of the public, especially fellow crafters. There’s such a friendly atmosphere, and I really appreciate the people who buy my hand-crafted products, it’s as if bits of me are in people’s homes all over Wrexham!"

Her daughter Heidi, of Heidi Lou Jewellery, adds: “I love seeing our city so busy, it brings people together. The Street Market has a real family feeling, with a great bond among the stallholders."
