Wrexham Museum has received the gold standard.

The museum recently had a visit from the Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Service (VAQAS) for Visit Wales, who inspects visitor attractions and rates them on their strength as attractions.

After the assessment visit, Wrexham Museum was given the status of a Quality Assured Attraction for 2018/19 – an award which recognises it’s somewhere where visitors can be guaranteed a good day out.

VAQAS looks at a number of different factors when rating attractions, including layout, presentation, cleanliness, catering and staff – and the museum scored high on all of them, reaching an overall score of 96 per-cent.

And according to the VAQAS feedback, the museum is a “most impressive attraction utilising modern technology to engage visitors”.

The Gold Award only goes to “attractions that achieve excellence for their facilities and customer services.”
