Wrexham considers charity launch for City of Culture 2029 bid 

Wrexham Council will discuss establishing a charitable company to support a 2029 City of Culture bid following feedback on its 2025 bid.

The city lost out to Bradford for the 2025 title which had established a trust to lead the bid process throughout.

A report by Wrexham Council said the move would mean a “robust governance structure” would be in place for delivery which could support continued cultural and creative work in Wrexham after 2029.

The report added that, once legally established, the charitable trust would have a  “close working relationship” with the local authority. It would also lead a public engagement exercise to update the community on the progress of the trust and the bid.
