Activity itinerary

Wrexham
  • 45m
Everyone loves an underdog; if that underdog lived anywhere, it would be Wrexham. A city full of history, hard-working and friendly people, nationally important businesses, and Wrexham AFC, the oldest football club in Wales, the third oldest club in the world, and the star of the hit TV series Welcome To Wrexham. Don't let those Hollywood A-listers fool you. They're not the stars! It's the city and people of Wrexham who make the series the hit thing to watch. Local people are passionate about their city and their football club, and the people of Wrexham (or Wrecsam in Welsh) constantly bounce back after every attempt to knock them down. As you walk around the city streets, who knows what you will see, or indeed who, as our passionate, knowledgeable local guide, who is also a die-hard Wrexham AFC supporter, leads you on a tour that includes not only the filming locations from Welcome to Wrexham but also Wrexham's illustrious history.
Wrexham Lager Brewery Shop
  • 10m
Wrexham Lager is a national institution Not just for Wales but for the whole of Great Britain. The idea of two German immigrants, this light refreshing lager is the oldest in the UK. Produced in Wrexham since 1882 this lager was exported across the British Empire and even served aboard the infamous Titanic. Now it's your chance to taste this historic drink, and even buy some to take home with you!
The Fat Boar (Pass by)
The Fat Boar is a favourite place to stop with everyone from the staff at Wrexham AFC to locals looking for a good place to eat. However, we're here for something more interesting than the food and drink - the mural on the exterior of the pub. The murals on the exterior of the Fat Boar have seen fans of both the Wrexham AFC, the Welsh National Team, and Welcome To Wrexham flock here in their droves. Whilst here, you will have the chance to have your photograph taken alongside the current mural, hear about previous paintings that have adorned the walls, and learn how some of the murals have had to be changed for legal reasons.
St Giles Parish Church
  • 10m
St Giles Parish Church is a stunning building, one of the finest examples of Church building in Wales, and is home to the exorcist priest (Reverend Dr. Jason Bray) whom Rob and Ryan meet in Season One of Welcome To Wrexham. This stunning 15th and 16th Century Church is a historic gem, with a pre-reformation lectern (dated around 1524 and one of old 40 surviving examples in the UK), the remains of a painting depicting the Day of Judgement, and the burial place of Eliha Yale, the principle benefactor of Yale University in the United States of America. Whilst exploring this church, you will have the chance to see these fantastic historical artefacts, and should you be brave enough (and the weather permits) you can climb the Church's Tower for a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding area.
Wrexham General Market
  • 10m
Wrexham Market is where many of the famous local faces work, congregate, and chat about the various highs (and lows) of the football season. Here you will meet local characters such as Rob Clarke (owner of Mad4Movies) and, if he is in, chat about all things Wrexham.
Lot 11 Cafe
  • 10m
Lot 11 Cafe is your chance to get a quick snack and a drink in a place that is favoured by the Wrexham AFC players. This boutique cafe is seen in Welcome to Wrexham when Paul Mullins and Ollie Palmer eat breakfast here in season one.
Wrexham Miners Project
  • 10m
The Wrexham Miners Project is a museum like no other. Like so many other buildings and institutions in Wrexham, this building was saved by the Local people and converted into a museum. Founded in memory of those who lost their lives in the Welsh mines, this building was once the Miner's Rescue Station - where miners would learn how to rescue injured colleagues after a collapse, or worse, an explosion. While many people across the world associate the Valleys of South Wales with the mining tradition, mining took place across Wales, and it is in our blood. Across the UK, 48% of major mining accidents happened in Wales, and this museum houses a memorial to the 234 people who died in the 1934 Gresford Mining Disaster. This disaster was featured in Season Two of Welcome To Wrexham. Whilst here you will learn how rescue teams were trained, and even get the chance to put yourself through some of their tests. Who knows, you might even get the chance to meet a celebrity or two while here!
The Racecourse Ground (Pass by)
The Racecourse (or Cae Ras in Welsh) is the oldest international football stadium in the world that is still in continual use. Today, it is (almost) as famous as those bigger, shinier international stadia such as Wembley and is home to Wrexham AFC, the oldest football club in Wales. Put more plainly this stadium is the heart of Wrexham. Entry into the grounds and inside the stadium is not guaranteed due to match schedules, filming days, closed practices, and factors beyond our control. That said there will be time for pictures outside the stadium, and your guide will explain not only this clubs fantastic history, but also its bright future now that Rob McElhenny and Ryan Reynolds have taken ownership of Wrexham AFC.
Wrexham AFC Club Shop
  • 10m
At the Wrexham AFC Club Shop you will be able to shop until you drop! Why not pick up this season's home and away shirts, or if you like something a bit more exciting, why not purchase a cuddly toy to take home and cuddle whilst you think of Rob and Ryan....
The Turf Hotel
  • 10m
The Turf's landlord, Wayne, is one of our favourite characters from Welcome To Wrexham, and we highly recommend stopping here for a drink or something to eat as we end our tour. If you're lucky Wayne might serve you, or you may catch a glimpse of him as he runs of to film the next series. Before your guide departs, they will explain the unique history of the pub, including its crucial role in Wrexham Cricket Club, how the pub was used in the founding of Wrexham Football Club, and how the Turf Pub has been a focal point for Wrexham supporters on match days for over 150 years. Once your guide leaves you to soak up the atmosphere of this historic pub (which feels like one of the characters in Welcome To Wrexham) we suggest sitting and watching the locals pass by, taking photos of the supporters walls which now cover part of the pub's historic interior, or maybe having a bite to eat from the Burger Van which is parked outside and often also seen in the series.
