‘It’s great that Wrexham Year of Culture will be showcasing the very best of what’s on offer from local and national retailers in Wrexham.
“Wrexham’s first Fashion Week will be full of great events and there will definitely be something for everyone, be it men, women or children. Wrexham has so much variety in what it has to offer the fashion industry including lots of great new talent like the design students at Yale College. Fashion Week will enable us to showcase all of this talent and put Wrexham on the map as a great place to shop for fashion.’

The event costs just £5 and will include a glass of wine or soft drink on arrival. Companies exhibiting in the show are Matalan, First Lady Bridal, Baffino, Serruti and The Babootique, along with talented students from Yale College.
