Spring is here and Wales Comic Con is gearing up for its first event of the year and it promises to be a bumper one!
Thousands will descend on Glyndwr University for the event. As well as local people many will be staying at locations in Wrexham and across the region and some will come far across Europe just to visit Wales Comic Con right here in Wrexham.
It’s estimated that it will pump over £1m into the regional economy and, as it’s reckoned to be the best Comic Con, it puts Wrexham on the map as the place to be this weekend 🙂
