Wrexham Community and Culture Trust is leading on the development of a bold, inclusive and visionary 10-Year Cultural Strategy for Wrexham County Borough. This strategy will play a critical role in shaping Wrexham’s future as a vibrant cultural hub, grounded in local identity and ambition, and informed by the values embedded in the Wrecsam2029 UK City of Culture bid.

What do we mean by culture?

We’re not just talking about theatres, museums, galleries and gig venues (though these matter too)… We’re talking about the ways we have fun, live our lives, and ultimately, how we collectively celebrate the ‘spirit of Wrexham’. Culture is the places we love to eat, the way we spend time with friends and family, the sports we play and watch, the stories we tell, the things we make and imagine, the places we turn to for peace, connection or inspiration, the people, moments and spaces that we celebrate. And much more.

We know there is already great work being done in Wrexham to improve people’s lives through culture. By understanding this better, we can build on successes, learn from what’s already been tried and find the best ways to nurture what matters most.

Are you a community leader, do you run a local group, or do you have a perspective you think will be crucial to our work?

In addition to the survey, we’ll be running engagement sessions and 1-2-1 interviews with specific individuals and special interest groups (cultural providers, local businesses, sports clubs and so on) to help us get a more in depth understanding of the ways this strategy could support them. While we have the best intentions, we know reaching everyone will be a challenge!
If you feel your perspective is crucial or have any questions – we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch at [email protected]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. You can support our work by forwarding the survey on to friends, family and colleagues, to help us build a wide-ranging view of resident’s needs and wants. After you’ve submitted this survey, you’ll be redirected to a separate form in which you can enter the prize draw and opt in to being kept informed on future developments, by providing your contact details. This ensures your main survey response is kept fully anonymous. The prize draw will be selected and winner contacted in March 2026.
