welcome A Thomas Telford masterpiece has put Wrexham on the world map. So it’s a good time to welcome one of the world’s great festivals. 4
join the party We do like a party in Wrexham. Maybe it’s because we’ve had so much to celebrate in the last few years. Acquiring our very own university, for example. The newest in Wales. Or increasing the retail space in Wrexham town centre by 25% with the award-winning Eagles Meadow shopping centre. All 306,000 square feet of it. But perhaps the biggest news was when UNESCO made Pontcysyllte Aqueduct a World Heritage Site. Which puts our very own Thomas Telford masterpiece on a par with world icons such as the Pyramids, Machu Picchu or the Acropolis. If that’s not worth a celebration, we don’t know what is. So it’s perfect timing for Wrexham to host one of the world’s greatest cultural festivals – the 2011 National Eisteddfod of Wales. From 30 July-6 August up to 160,000 people will pack the famous pink pavilion and the surrounding Maes, or field. We’re so excited this spectacular travelling festival is coming back to Wrexham that we’ve planned a whole year of events to go with it. We call it Wrexham Year of Culture 2011. And there’s a whole centre section of this booklet devoted to it (see page 31). We already attract about 1.4 million visitors every year. But we’ve always got room for a few more in our convenient corner of the North Wales Borderlands. We’re easy to reach by road, rail or air. And because we’re both town and county bustling hub and rural paradise - we like to think we’ve got most tastes covered. So join the party and discover the Real Wrexham. It should give you a real buzz. Whether you live, work or play here. www.yearofculture.co.uk 5
