A vibrant and modern city, it is also steeped in history and remains true to its roots, with echoes of its industrial past still evident today. Wrexham has plenty to offer visitors, whether you are visiting for a few hours, a few days or longer. Culture, heritage, music, arts and science, as well as local food and drink, all have their part to play in what makes the area so diverse. Wrexham is also home to the world-famous Wrexham AFC, which calls the oldest international football stadium its home. Wrexham is currently bidding to be host city for the UK City of Culture 2029.
