A PEBBLE painting event is being held in memory of much-loved Wrexham youngster, Aria Hodgkiss.

Aria, aged four, tragically lost her 18-month battle with a brain tumour on December 1, 2022. 

She lived in Rhostyllen, but her story captured the hearts of people across Wrexham and far beyond. 

This Saturday (March 4), a pebble painting event is taking place in Aria's memory. 

It is being held at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church on Hill Street in Rhosyllen between 10am and 1pm - with painting equipment being provided, as well as snacks, cakes and refreshments.

The event is being organised by the Bushra Ali Group Global Community Interest Company. 

The group was launched last summer by Bushra Ali, a Wrexham-based Human Rights lawyer. 

There are spaces for 20 children and one adult per child. To book a place for your child, please visit https://bit.ly/3SB6J3h.

Aria's mum, Melanie, said: "I have been thinking of doing something for the children who knew Aria. Something in her memory. So, I contacted Bushra Ali to see if we could do a painting session in Aria's memory - as Aria loved to paint.

"We would love to see her friends there painting a pebble in her memory. 

"Aria would have loved it and she would have loved seeing all her friends there. "
