The Wrexham City of Culture bus tour continues today (Sunday, January 16), visiting locations around the county.

The tour of the county should raise awareness and support for the #Wrecsam2025 bid and consists of two buses going to different areas of Wrexham.

The buses will have on board performers and artists who will be hopping off at different locations for a short performance, before jumping back on board and heading to the next location.

Residents across the county are asked to keep their eyes peeled for the red buses that will be on tour.

Due to current covid restrictions the City of Culture team have had to amend their original plans where over 40 events were to go ahead across the county, but can share the locations and times.

Bus one locations are:

  • 10.00am Gwersyllt shops (LL11 4NT)
  • 10.45am Llay Resource Centre (LL12 0SA)
  • 11.15am Gresford Colliery Club (LL12 8EE)
  • 11.45am Rossett Green (LL12 0HW)
  • 12.30pm Bellis – Holt (LL13 9YU)
  • 13.00pm Holt Lodge

Bus locations are:

  • 10.00am Penley layby
  • 10.45am Overton Library
  • 11.30am Bangor on Dee Royal Oak
  • 12.15pm Marchwiel football Club

Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Communities, Place and Partnerships at Wrexham County Borough Council added: “The buses are a novel way of engaging with the entire community of Wrexham, without encouraging large gatherings or unnecessary journeys.

“As much as we would have liked to have greater engagement, we’ll need to wait until it’s safe to do so.

“Becoming UK City of Culture in 2025 will be a fantastic tool in our future recovery from covid and I encourage everyone to learn more about the competition and the benefits it will bring to Wrexham.

“In the meantime I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled over the next few days for the big red culture buses.”

If you see one of the buses the public are asked to take pictures and share them using the hashtag #Wrecsam2025
