SAM ROWLANDS, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, is calling on his constituents to celebrate St David’s Day in Wrexham.
Mr Rowlands, a proud Welshman, is urging everyone to join in with a packed city centre programme on March 1.
He said: “I am always happy to promote and support events which encourage the community to come together and delighted to see that Wrexham will be at the forefront of celebrating this very important day.
“Once again organisers have come up with many different events happening in the city centre including the popular St David’s Day Parade and it will be an experience not to be missed.
“I believe it is so important vital that we all take time to reflect and remember our heritage and celebrate our national day together, and I would encourage everyone to join in with the planned celebrations.”
Wrexham is getting ready to celebrate St David’s Day with a full day of activity across the city centre, with the annual St David’s Day Parade sitting at the heart of a wider programme of music, markets, food, crafts and cultural events.

Community groups, organisations and residents are all encouraged to get involved or come along to show their support along the way.
There will also be a special St David’s Day edition of Wrexham’s Monthly Street Market on Queen’s Square from 10.00am to 5.00pm; Queen’s Square will also host Wrexfiesta, a collaboration between Wrexfest and Afro Fiesta, with live music and DJ sets; St Giles’ Church, will host a St David’s Day service at 11.00am and following the service, the church bells will ring out at 12.40pm; Tŷ Pawb will be marking St David’s Day with drop-in activities from 11.00am to 4.00pm, including crafts and live music and Chapter Court will be celebrating from 10.00am to 4.00pm with a programme that includes Welsh food sampling and tasting sessions, cookery classes and more.
