With the arrival of warm weather and a break from daily school routines, the summer school holidays offer a much-needed opportunity for relaxation, exploration, and quality time together. It’s also a time to relish in the wonders that our community has to offer.

In these pages, we showcase the local events, festivals, and outdoor activities that bring our community together, encouraging you to embrace the warm weather and make lasting memories.

Our food section explores the abundance of fresh produce that graces our tables during August. From succulent berries and stone fruits, to vibrant vegetables and fragrant herbs, our local farm shops and markets are teeming with ingredients that inspire mouth-watering summer recipes.

Finally, we extend our gratitude to you, our loyal readers, for your unwavering support and for being an integral part of our local magazine. We hope that this August edition brings joy, inspiration, and a deeper connection to our community and the incredible season we find ourselves in.

Wishing you a memorable August!

All the best, Vicky Heathfield

Green Flag Accolade

Nine areas in Wrexham have retained their Green Flag Status – the international mark of a quality park or green space. Flags are awarded for areas that have excellent visitor facilities, high environmental standards and a commitment to deliver quality green space.

Acton Park, Alyn Waters Country Park, Bellevue Park, Ponciau Banks Park, Tŷ Mawr Country Park and Wrexham Cemetery, were awarded, along with volunteer-run Green Flag Community Award winners, Chirk Station, Plas Pentwyn and Maes Y Pant.

Now in its third decade, the Green Flag Award recognises well-managed parks and green spaces in 20 countries around the world.
