A summer holiday highlight for families
Lead Member with responsibility for Tŷ Pawb, Cllr Hugh Jones, said: “Since returning to Wrexham in 2019, Darganfod Science Festival has grown in popularity and ambition each year and is now one of the highlights of the summer holidays in the city centre.
“Last year’s festival was the most successful edition yet, with over 800 people attending over two days. We are hoping to build on the success this year and hope to see even more families enjoying an extravaganza of engaging science and art.”
