Wrexham is experiencing a cultural and culinary boom that goes far beyond the football pitch! If you’re planning a day to explore this vibrant city, we’ve put together a foodie-focused itinerary to make the most of your 24 hours here.
Morning: A Cozy Stay and Breakfast at Toast Café
Start your visit with a comfortable night’s stay at either The Lemon Tree (in the heart of the city centre) or Hotel Wrexham (a few miles outside the city centre). Wake up refreshed and head to Toast Café for breakfast, an award-winning spot known for its incredible morning menu. This cozy café, popular with locals and visitors alike, is the ideal place to fuel up for a day of exploring.
Mid-Morning: St Giles’ Church and a City Stroll
After breakfast, stretch your legs with a wander around Wrexham’s compact city centre. A must-see is St Giles’ Church, a historic landmark with beautiful architecture and a wealth of stories. Take a moment to enjoy the surroundings, and make sure to take a few photos—it’s a stunning place to capture Wrexham’s charm.
Lunch: Classic Fish & Chips or Fantastic Pies
For lunch, head to Jones Fish & Chip Shop, a Wrexham institution that has been serving delicious fish and chips since 1911! For those looking for something a bit different, Reggies is an amazing option known for its savoury pies, packed with flavour and a true comfort food experience.
Afternoon: Art, Football, or Both!
In the afternoon, you’ve got options. If Wrexham AFC is playing at home, grab some tickets and immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere at the Racecourse Ground. Even if you’re not a die-hard fan, the passion and energy are worth experiencing. Alternatively, take a stroll to appreciate Wrexham’s growing collection of street art, which adds an edgy, vibrant layer to the cityscape.
Pre-Dinner Drinks: Vault 33 or Magic Dragon Brewery
Wind down with a drink before dinner. If cocktails are your thing, Vault 33 has you covered with its creative menu and relaxed vibe. Prefer a pint? Check out Magic Dragon, a pub where you can sample its local craft beers with personality.
Dinner: A Culinary Finale at Ial Restaurant
For dinner, we recommend Ial Restaurant at Coleg Cambria. This unique dining experience showcases fresh, locally sourced ingredients and talented chefs who put a creative twist on classic dishes. It’s a gem of the Wrexham dining scene and an ideal spot to end your day on a high note.
Wrexham is truly on the up, and we hope this 24-hour itinerary inspires you to explore its many flavours and experiences. It’s the perfect destination for foodies and culture lovers alike!
