“We are looking forward to giving everyone a taste of the Festival, and there will be plenty of opportunity to hear more about our plans over the next year and to meet the crew who organize all the activities.”
Cllr Hugh Jones, Welsh Language Champion at Wrexham Council said: “With less than a year to go until Wrexham welcomes the largest cultural event in Europe, the excitement is really starting to build.
