A Wrexham Council spokesman said: "Join our environment staff for a Pumpkin Party to help celebrate the Wrexham Sweet Chestnut first year anniversary following our UK tree of the year win in 2023.
"The Wrexham Sweet Chestnut is over 480 years old and stands proudly in Acton Park.
"Ancient trees such as the Sweet Chestnut support a wide range of biodiversity as well as removing carbon and helping to maintain temperatures in urban environments so it is vitally important that we protect and support these magnificent living legends."
