Step into the real Wrexham that shaped the global story of Welcome to Wrexham. This walking tour invites you to explore the city that became the backdrop to the lives, ambitions and challenges captured in the documentary. Rather than recreating scenes, the tour reveals the atmosphere and authentic locations that contributed to moments featuring the club’s devoted supporters, long-standing volunteers and members of the community who shared their lives on screen.

The route is not published in advance, allowing the narrative to unfold at its own gentle pace, much like the series itself. Several locations may feel familiar to those who watched Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds learn about the city, the club and the people whose stories shaped the heart of the documentary.

HIGHLIGHTS 👣

Across Wrexham City are places woven delicately into the series. Some appear during early episodes as the club’s future hangs in the balance; others form the backdrop to heartfelt conversations with figures such as Wayne Jones, Fleur Robinson, Humphrey Ker, and members of the loyal supporter base who became recognisable through the documentary. While the tour never guarantees personal encounters, it offers a deeper sense of the environment in which their stories unfolded.

You may pass through areas connected with recognisable community voices, or the matchday rituals that surrounded the Racecourse Ground, each contributing to the series in their own way. These places are not presented as viewing points, but as living parts of Wrexham where ordinary days and extraordinary moments continue to intersect.

Certain corners of the city carry quieter echoes of the documentary. Narrow lanes, modest shopfronts and familiar gathering spots reveal why Wrexham’s identity resonated so powerfully on screen. The spirit shown by supporters old and young, the sense of belonging, and the deep affection for the club are still felt throughout these spaces.

Throughout the tour we reflect on how the themes of Welcome to Wrexham. Community resilience, pride, humour and hope are inseparable from the city itself. The walk encourages you to notice subtle details that shaped the series long before any camera arrived, offering a richer understanding of why Wrexham’s story captured global imagination.

This experience is not a behind-the-scenes production. It is instead an authentic encounter with the city that inspired the documentary, allowing each place to share its meaning in its own time.

The tour proceeds in all weather. Some inclines, uneven pavements and steps are included, so suitable footwear is recommended. A brief comfort stop is provided, with an opportunity to purchase a takeaway coffee.
