Wrexham's Victorian Market is here to spread festive cheer

There are currently over 30 outdoor stalls which have relocated to Ty Pawb for today's Christmas market - and traders can't wait to see you.

I couldn't wait to visit the markets this afternoon having not been to any Christmas stalls so far this year.

While the weather is a little off-putting, I was certainly ready to feel festive. I wrapped up warm and headed to Queens Square to see what delicious goods I could find.

Spoiler, there was plenty to choose from!

I ventured to Lowri's Bake Box and was immediately greeted by smiles and the divine smell of chocolatey goodness. The stall sells dozens of irresistible flavoured brownies and cakes - the perfect treat for a cold wintery day.

If you fancy something savoury do not worry as Doughson's Handmade Pizza is just next door cooking freshly made slices with your favourite toppings.

Sadly due to the weather concerns, many stalls were encouraged to move indoors to Ty Pawb where the atmosphere remained upbeat and magical despite the last minute changes.

After travelling from Whitchurch, Caroline Hamilton is thrilled to be in Wrexham with her skincare stall. The products smell fresh and are packaged beautifully if you're still looking for a lovely Christmas gift.

Bevsbeenbaking is also in Ty Pawb, yet another wonderful handmade baked goods stall. Beverly Patterson-Jones explains how impressed she is with the turn out despite the last minute 'scale back' of stalls.

I couldn't help but stop at Beech Avenue's Brewery stall which had plenty of gift sets to choose from starting at £15 as well as delicious individual bottles of lemoncello. 

Bank St Social are also including some very tempting gift sets at their stall which were packaged beautifully and sourced locally.

Wrexham's Trainer Revival and Casual Kids Lab is also inside Ty Pawb today selling exclusive hand-crafted AFC-inspired clothing items.

I was fascinated to see the designs in person after being told so much about their store. Elliot Lee fans, you're in for a treat!

Regent House of Flowers is also selling unique flower and Christmas garland arrangements. The small business has also recently featured in Ryan Reynolds' Aviation Gin promotion advert so you'll want to come down and see what they have to offer.

My personal favourite has got to be the Grinch-inspired plants. How creative! 

Ditto Designs is yet another wonderful stall selling handmade gifts including uniquely crafted mugs, coasters, wallets with a Welsh twist, hot chocolate boards and plenty more.

Finally, I headed over to see Loopy Delights which features a colourful collection of bags, bespoke sewing and clothing. The impressive display is available to browse all afternoon.

It has been great to see people across Wrexham eager to support local stalls and businesses in the lead up to Christmas and will hopefully remain that way until stalls close at 8pm tonight.

Head down to Queens Square, Ty Pawb, St Giles' Church and the Central Arcade to see it all for yourself.

With over 60 stalls altogether to choose from featuring everything from hot drinks to fresh meals and handcrafted gifts, the market remains incredibly inviting on this cold day.
