A hugely exciting new addition to Wrexham is taking shape and the team behind it wants your help.

is creating a Family Panel to help shape future family experiences, events and activities as part of its next chapter.

They’re looking to hear directly from families about what a great visit looks like, what would encourage you to visit and any barriers that might prevent you from taking part.

Whether you’d prefer regular meetings, one off focus groups, online participation or simply completing a survey, there are plenty of ways to get involved and have your say.

This is a chance to help influence and shape an exciting new cultural attraction for Wrexham from the very beginning.

Families of all ages are welcome.

To register your interest, email [email protected] by 27 June 2026.

Gŵyl Cwilt!!!

Datgelodd Arddangosfa Trysorau Celf Wrecsam 1876 “Cwilt Rhyfeddod Wrecsam” i’r byd am y tro cyntaf. I ddathlu’r pen-blwydd yn 150 oed, bydd Llyfrgell Wrecsam yn cynnal ei gŵyl tri diwrnod ei hun ar 9, 10 ac 11 Gorffennaf.

Dros y tridiau, bydd arddangosfa, gan gynnwys… replica ar raddfa chwarter o’r Cwilt Rhyfeddod gwreiddiol; Cwilt Adam Jones (trwy garedigrwydd Tŷ Pawb); Cwilt Dyffryn Dyfrdwy (trwy garedigrwydd Ysgol Froncysyllte), yn ogystal â chelf tecstilau/cwiltio arall o ysgol Gynradd Rhos-ddu ac ysgol Barker’s Lane; clytwaith 50 panel y Bwrdd Arlunio; a llawer mwy.

Rydym yn croesawu ymweliadau ysgol ar ddydd Iau 9 Gorffennaf a dydd Gwener 10 Gorffennaf, rhwng 10.00am a 11.30am, ac yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw bydd gwirfoddolwyr wrth law i sgwrsio am yr eitemau sy’n cael eu harddangos.

Yn ogystal, bydd y sgyrsiau/arddangosiadau canlynol:

❤️Dydd Iau 9 Gorffennaf, 2.00pm – 3.00pm: Bydd yr artist tecstilau enwog, Bethan Hughes, yn siarad am le cwiltio mewn byd modern.

❤️Dydd Gwener 10 Gorffennaf, 1.00pm-4.00pm: Bydd yr artist lleol, Rachel Harris, yn siarad am ac yn arddangos y grefft draddodiadol o Gwiltio mewn Ffrâm.

Mae’r rhain yn ddigwyddiadau am ddim, ond mae’n rhaid i chi gadw lle.

Os hoffai eich ysgol ymweld yn ystod sesiwn yr ysgolion, nodwch fod lleoedd yn gyfyngedig a rhaid eu cadw ymlaen llaw.
