Hwb Cymraeg is back for FOCUS Wales 2023 and will be based once again on Queen’s Square in the large tepee.
Access is free until 6pm throughout the long weekend, and is for anyone who can speak any level of Welsh, even if your vocabulary only stretches as far as ‘diolch,’ and ‘un, dau tri’.
Friday’s activities start at 10am with cake and a chat, followed by a further opportunity to learn Welsh and play board games, ahead of the musical acts taking to the stage in the afternoon.
Saturday is family day at Hwb Cymraeg with activities such as Ukulele session, Silent disco, and drama workshops planned for the entire family to enjoy.
As well as a busy timetable of events, a fully stocked bar and hot drinks will be available throughout the festival inside the Hwb Cymraeg Teepee-making it an ideal venue to meet with friends, and make new contacts over the Focus Wales festival period.

Thanks in part to the success of the Wrexham AFC football club, there is a growing international knowledge of our culture, language and heritage – Hwb Cymraeg will be the focus of Welsh Culture, language and heritage over the weekend so come and soak up the atmosphere, or learn a little Welsh that you can use in your daily life or on social media.
Stephen Jones, Welsh Language Officer at Wrexham Council said: “I would like to thank all the organisation involved in the event including: Menter Iaith Fflint a Wrecsam, Mudiad Meithrin, Coleg Cambria, Focus Wales, Thatre Clwyd, Dysgu Cymraeg Gogledd Dwyrain and the Urdd.”
