HIGHLIGHTS 👣

We visit St Giles’ Church, a medieval church with ancient stories to tell, as well as the recently renovated Victorian Butchers Market and Butter Market. We also visit some of the locations featured in the Welcome to Wrexham documentaries and chat about some of the characters connected to them.

From there, we visit the Racecourse Ground and club shop before moving on to The Turf, where we learn about its history and association with Wrexham AFC. Your local, professional, and accredited tour guide has also supported Wrexham AFC for many years and will share hints, tips, and local knowledge about the club along the way.

The tour will go ahead regardless of the weather, so please ensure you wear appropriate clothing. The ground is uneven in places, with some steps and inclines, so suitable footwear is recommended.
