Visitors can learn about the rich history of this site and other historical landmarks through their rotating exhibits.
Lovely little museum with tasty coffee and friendly staff. Loved it!

Great little museum in Wrexham that gives you an insight to it's local history and heritage. There was a small display of Welsh football with Wales legend John Charles golden boot and Aaron Ramsey's No.8 Wales shirt. Nice displays about the Acton dog and links to Roman history. It has a children's room, cafe and toilets. Some rooms are a little dark and make it difficult to photograph the displays.

Getting into a museum after the last year and a half,was,in itself a treat but the Roman Holt exhibition was all you expect and more.Plenty of information and leaflets and games for kids too.Much to learn and take away to follow up about the long life of historical sites as well as this site in particular.A lot of work has been done in very trying times and the result is something worth seeing.Big coffees afterwards outside the friendly cafe.

Interesting exhibit and nice coffee shop. They could make it clearer that it is a museum and library. I want sure until I walked into the forecourt. No tickets required.

Historical place museum
The National Trust is a UK-based charitable organisation that preserves historic buildings and landscapes. Erddig, which is located in Rhostyllen, Wales, is a historically significant 18th century manor that offers tours of the family house and its ornate 12,000-acre garden.
Erddig is an amazing place full of wildlife. In Easter they have an amazing Easter egg hunt that makes you trail all around the property. There are many places where you can sit and have your lunch. If you have children there is an amazing play area full of things to climb on. At the heart of the play area there is a rope swing. This rope swing can go high and is fun as you feel the wind through your hair. It is very safe. I hope you like waiting because there is a very long line. Worth it though! On your way to the car park you can see fields of grass. And tons of trees. I 💯 recommend as it is fun for all!

Beautiful place with plenty to do, friendly and informative staff, and great walks. Highly recommend getting the full ticket that gives you access to the house too - it’s really interesting and plenty of staff on hand to ask questions, as well as books and information stands/plaques. There are frequent guided tours of the gardens which are stunning, plus longer unguided walks around the grounds outside that you don’t need to pay for. I went for a walk to the “cup and saucer”, the paths are well maintained and walks clearly signposted.

A great place to visit. I went in May and then again in September. The house was interesting and had a lot to see. The gardens were colourful, and planting for the beds is seasonal, so different each time. The road in and out is narrow but has plenty of passing places.

One of the most beautiful national trust sites in country. Huge car park, good facilities and interesting house. Best to avoid public holidays and weekends as there will be many noisy and out of control kids running around.

Visited in August 2019, on the first day of my Wales holiday. Lovely National Trust house with the usual style, nice collection of arts, and the estate is very pretty. I had a lovely weather to enjoy and especially liked to walk around the garden and ground. It can be a good day out for everyone. Usual facilities are available, such as tea-room, shop, toilets, cafe.

Visited after doing the parkrun. I went back to the car, changed and re-entered with our NT cards. The house didn't open till 12.30 so we couldn't visit but we did see the the superb gardens and lakes then took a walk around the wider estate. Lovely views.

We had a lovely day, the guys and staff when out of their way to be helpful. They were very knowledgeable. A particular outstanding guide was Pat who helped us together with Paul, Helen and not forgetting Gareth in the shop. One of the best national trust we have been to. There's a lot to see and do.

Another historical beauty with lots to see in the house with a lot dedicated to the servants. Absolutely beautiful garden and plenty of open space and tables for picnics. Not on a grand scale, although well worth visiting. An upstairs restaurant, and, unfortunately, at the moment, the lift is currently out of use, but hopefully, that won't be for long.
Phyllis Hartshorne — Google review
This is a brilliant day out for both children and adults alike. We started off with lunch in the cafe. The food was delicious and a good size portion. Then a walk through the house and finally into the gardens. We clocked up nearly 5000 steps so enjoyment and fitness combined.

Had a fabulous welcome from an assistant named Oliver on arrival. Thoroughly enjoyed walking our dog through the woods - currently thronged with wild garlic and bluebells, followed by a peaceful stroll along the stream through the French Meadow. The formal gardens are spectacular with vibrant tulips, and there is blossom aplenty on the fruit trees. Beautiful!
Sue Taylor — Google review
One of the best trust properties I have visited. The house is spectacular and is so original. When you look at pictures from over 100 years ago the rooms have barely changed. Woodland walks are beautiful and lots of different options for those wanting a gentle stroll are a longer ramble. Gardens are beautiful and well kept. Highly recommend and last of all the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable.

I had acquired a free day family pass to a National Trust place of interest so whilst we were camping near Chester we decided on this one as we were close by that day. Absolutely lovely place. The gardens were beautifully kept. The house itself was amazing as everything in there belonged to the house and not brought in for authenticity. The staff were wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hrs here. I even took away some tulip bulbs for a small donation.

The extensive 18th century walled gardens are the highlight of a visit to Erddig. It features a canal, pond, orchard and formal garden. Lots of nice seating areas to enjoy the view back to the mansion house. Tour of the house was interesting and good coffee shop. Nice place to spend a few hours.

We are NT members and decided to try Erddig. We love it there. The gardens are so lovely. A big lake with the well kept gardens around it. There is a wooded area to explore with children and quiet corners to sit in and relax. The house is so nice to explore and the Chapel is our favourite part.the volunteers are all lovely and knowledgeable.

One of the better National Trust properties. I love seeing how the downstairs operated as well as the normal upstairs rooms. The gardens are also kept nice although on this last visit we couldn't take advantage of them because of adverse weather.

A good day out. A very large house, and extensive gardens, plus a bookshop, and large gift shop. The house and furnishings are impressive. Beginning with a bakery, laundry room, kitchen with excellent kitchen range, food prep rooms, and moving on to a grand dining room, and reception rooms, even a music room (!), The silk bed curtains are masterpieces, and currently can be seen very close up. The walk through the house also visits the family chapel which is colourful and very fine, albeit a trifle restricted in terms of viewing it. Be sure to have a good few hours, as you will easily be able to spend them in a most enjoyable way.

Lovely place in a lovely setting the house is huge and worth a visit but no dogs in the house or formal garden. Food and drink available but VERY VERY pricey e.g. can of pop £2.30 and a sausage roll £4.70 and that is a small ish one so be warned. The grounds are huge and you can pass a day easily with your dog on the many trails and if your dog is like mine then it will be in the water. The trails are mostly dry but if you venture on to the small trails it can be muddy so decent footwear needed.plenty of parking but like all NT places it fills up quickly so get there handy. Make sure to go in every doorway you see to take a step back in time in the workshops. All in all a stunning setting with stunning views and every staff member we spoke with are lovely friendly and helpfull.

We were so excited to be returning here after 25 years. We were also disappointed, there wasn't a notification to inform us that access to many of the rooms were very limited. The rooms were incredibly dark so made reading about pictures etc difficult. The volunteers were very plentiful, knowledgeable and friendly.

A great place for a trip with family and friends. You need to check to see which parts of the house are open. Staff are friendly with lots of interesting facts to share. The gardens are great for a wonder. Lots of parking, cafe food nice.

Absolute treasure of a place! A really interesting place to visit with a beautiful house & gardens to explore. The Yorke family who owned the estate for genetations before donating it to the National Trust were unusual for two reasons, one most were vegetarians & two there are a number of servant portraits displayed in the servant quarters & even poems about them. We found the ladies of Erddig in each room extremely friendly & knowledgeable about the artifacts in each room, as I homeschool my son it was a very educational day trip. I would definitely recommend it is well worth a visit.

The Erddig manor and national trust is a must see if you're in Wrexham. The estate is enormous and you could easily spend all day walking the grounds. It is stunning and beautiful and the manor and garden tour are well worth it. The grounds have a restaurant as well.

Visited 13/11/2023 with family, utilising the family membership (great value for money!) This was the only national trust site open in North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 due to high winds closing the other sites. There was plenty of parking available, and all areas were accessible with a child buggy. A great start was the free apples 🍏 🍎 available both eating/cooking to take away 👌🏽 Then to visit the ‘parlour’ can grab a great drink, pastie & brownie 👍🏽near to the gift shop and first floor restaurant (lift not working) all in same courtyard area.

Xplore! Science Discovery Centre is a fantastic place to visit for families with children. The center offers a variety of interactive exhibits that help kids understand the workings of the world and science experiments that are both educational and fun. They also have special events like a dinosaur exhibit, as well as toddler days which include storytime sessions and play areas. Visitors can enjoy the amenities of the little cafe on site, while staff members were praised for their excellent service. Overall, Xplore!
Great experience for children and the family. Lots of different interactive science experiments to help understand how the world works. There was a great dinosaur event too. Really good value for money and the staff were great.

This is a great place to spend a day with a range of children of all ages. Lots to see and do.

A great concept and a fun and interactive place for the children to enjoy. I imagine most would recommend for small children or young families. Our group ranged from age 1 - 12 with the children, and they all seemed to enjoy it - the 12 year old took more fun in showing the younger children how to use the different stations. Things that would make it 5 ⭐ : * Although there is a lot of sanitizer about, no one was using it, and there were plenty of kids and adults with all this hands-on equipment. It was germ-central! Could really do with some dedicated staff to do a clean wipe-down throughout the day. The same could be said for the toilets which were great in their inclusive design, but were dirty and lacking soap and paper. * The picnic area with the lockers was great - not a lot of places encourage you to bring your own food, that also offer a café. Just a bit of a shame that it wasn't a decent café, and everything in there was overpriced, which would be fine if you could get a proper coffee, for example. * So close to being a good place to inspire curiosity around the sciences, but it would have been so much better if the scientific principles were explained behind each interactive station. 🧪🔭 All that said, it was an enjoyable afternoon spent there as a family, and would certainly revisit. 👍

Thank you to everyone working at Xplore! yesterday who helped to make my grandson's Space birthday party a very special one. The look on the children's faces as they counted down and launched their rockets they had made was wonderful. I would highly recommend Xplore for a birthday party, or even for just a visit. Loads of interactive exhibits which the children thoroughly enjoyed.

Absolutely blown away by how incredible this place is. Children really can learn at their own pace. There is such variety in each of the hands on activities. I loved how things weren’t over explained too- children can do the discovery then look for the reasons. As parents/ carers, you can bring in as much or as little science as you feel is appropriate. Emma did the bubbles theatre demo and she was brilliant. Full of energy, getting everyone involved, and her explanations were pitched just right. She had an answer for everything she was asked. The children I brought (7m & 10f) were still on a high tonight telling their mum & dad what they got up to today and how much they loved it. Overall an amazing experience

I would highly recommend for younger children, a good starting place to learn about science, my 7 Yr old really enjoyed it Would take him again.

Quiet a good day out but most things were are bit old for our son (3 years old) he did have fun building things and the staff were very friendly and interacted well with the kids. Only got 3 stars as a lot of the games etc have not been changed in years, although they are very well maintained, it would be nice to see a range of new activities. We really enjoyed the show.

The perfect place for curious children, my son absolutely loves the science centre we have been taking him since he was 2 and every time we go he discovers something new or a different way to interact with the displays, last year we had his 3rd birthday party at xplore and the whole team made it absolutely perfect and took all of the stress out of a childrens party! Our group was ranging from babies to 10 year olds and everyone (adults included) raved about the centre afterwards they all interacted with the displays and experiments in different ways, i would highly recommend them for a childrens party.

Visit here often, usually to grab something to eat from one of the food outlets. Pied pieper is nice enough, portion size is abit small in my view. Wing king is my current favourite, I had Korean wings and salt and pepper hash browns. Awesome flavour, nice crunch on the wings. Salt and pepper hash browns are amazing. Best hash browns I've had. You won't be disappointed. Just desserts is always nice, I've had many things off the menu. Next time I visit I'll try the curry place, always smells good.

Brilliant place. Went with work, and leisurely. Brilliant place to hold corporate events, and great place to shop in your free time. Unfortunately, didn't have lunch there, but there was a great quantity of selection of vendors. Parking was a little bit awkward, but that could be me not using multi story car parks that frequent. Maybe some additional signage would help, but otherwise, great place!

The Fat Boar is a small, eclectic restaurant that serves traditional Welsh cuisine and English-style cocktails. It's popular with locals and has won awards for its food and drinks. The pub also has a beautiful outside area perfect for a lazy summer evening.
Went with a group of friends for a meal before the match and I was pleasantly surprised with the vegetarian option. Great for sitting indoors or out. Reservations might be a good call for busier days.

This was lunchtime, it was Half Term week so busy as ‘kids ate for free’ ? Important to book for lunch. Very helpful staff, modern decor very bright and light. Ate upstairs, everyone happy with their meals. My ‘steak and eggs’ was just the job, nothing special but tasty . Good service. Slightly iffy but ‘vague smell of sewage’ 🤔🤔
Dai Davies — Google review
This place is certainly unique. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the location alongside the atmosphere is absolutely stunning. Personally, I would most definitely recommend a table in the upstairs restaurant, not only is it quiet and calm but it also has a decent view. As for the food, I don't think I could really complain about a thing! I've went with the house burger, which was absolutely delicious, in fact it was that good I found myself lacking my finger tips once I've finished 🤣🤣. My girlfriend went with the chicken fajitas, and as you could probably tell from the photos, the presentation is simply beautiful, and it was as tasteful as it looked. One thing we both liked about the fajitas is that you can essentially make it yourself, which at first we thought was silly since, we're paying to not have to do it ourselves at home 😂 but it actually worked out great, she could try different combinations and overall really enjoyed her meal. You can also probably tell that the portions are good. I'm 6"8 and that burger was more than filling, in fact half way through I had doubts whether I could finish it or not 😅. As for the fajitas, we didn't manage to eat all of it. But! They take no offence in asking for a takeaway box which I thought was absolutely amazing!! Because we enjoyed the rest of it at home watching TV 😇. And just to mention the drinks... they were just right 🙏🏼 I purposely ordered a Mojito because I've had the privilege of having some of the best monitors made for me by professional bartenders in countries like Spain, Italy or France therefor I wanted to see how a UK restaurant measures up. And while it wasn't the true "beach side" Mojito, it sure wasn't a bad one. It was worth the £6. However, the reason I've given it 4* instead of 5*... is mostly boiling down to the menu. While everything else was fantastic, the menu was the first impression we had about what we were having that night, and it wasn't the best impression. The individual dishes haven't been properly titled so and there wasn't any space between them so when one line ended, another started so I wasn't sure what was what really. Unfortunately I haven't taken a picture of it so I can't show it, but it was a little bit of a mess. And another critique was that there were no prices on the menu. 😅 I didn't mind paying more because I knew it was meant to be a "fancy" restaurant and I've had £100 set aside for it... but coming in and seeing no prices at all made me feel like they don't want us to know how much we're spending because we might not eat anything 😂😂 But coming to the end and seeing the receipt, the prices were rather acceptable too. £14 for an absolutely delicious burger? £16.50 for (basically) a tray of food? And £12 for 2 cocktails? That is not a bad price. Plus they take away the deposit you've paid, off of the total price therefore it's actually not bad at all. Considering, if I were to compare it to pizza hut, which we like to go to fairly often, we usually leave paying around £55 🤔 so £51 for a really nice experience as well as a delicious meal, I think this place is really good! Much recommended!

We went for the Christmas cocktail night, the food and drinks were lovely. Just a heads up for someone who is going for the first time, it was super loud, I thought it would be like a restaurant environment but there were loads of people just standing up by our table. I went with my partner and we couldn’t even hear each other. It’s not a problem but I’d like to know that before booking a meal out.

Waited 20 minutes with order pending to be spoken to like an inconvenience for asking if it would be accepted, We then waited 2 and a half hours and phoned for an update to be told it will arrive some time soon. What arrived was squashed, cold, sweaty and not even right. What was charged for the festive wrap and what arrived made no sense. We have had great experiences in the past at the restaurant but if you can't cope maybe you shouldn't be offering delivery if the standard drops that harshly.

Excellent sunday lunchtime experience here. Walked in with no booking at 1.30ish and was lucky enough to nab the last available table. From the outside we were expecting a pub atmosphere, but it actually has more of an up-market restaurant feel inside, even though it had a tv screen with sport on and indie rock music - a nice balance with the best of pub and restaurant. Service was generally fast and friendly. The duck bonbons starter was absolutely amazing! For main I got the chicken burger - very generous portion with two patties, the chicken tasted good quality and the fries were delicious, perhaps homemade. My husband got the lamb shank and he has pretty high standards when it comes to meat quality so we werent sure what to expect but he said it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to people.

Just really good tasty, fresh food, awesome atmosphere, great service! Beautiful place! We've enjoyed it so much and the owner made a dinner possible although we never had a reservation. Even our little one (15 months) was very welcome, they have a good baby highchair and changing room! Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Amazing food! Great service, every small plate we had was lovely & well presented. You need to get yourselves there if you haven’t been! Support local businesses especially during these hard times. We were the only ones in there tonight, as they’d had cancellations, so glad we went in!

From a girls night to a romantic meal with your partner, this place ticks it all! Staff are very attentive. To top it off the food is for everyone, theres dishes that are vegan, gluten free and for veggie lovers. I personally love the cauliflower tacos and pork belly!

100% recommended. If you are in Wrexham, you must visit! I wish we came here earlier. We went on Thursday for early dinner and it wasn’t crazy busy. The welcoming and the staff was superb, they were also very attentive all the way through! And the food was top top top notch! If you are here go and try the baked Camembert! For us it was the best out of all the food , but everything else was amazing too. And Of course the cocktails were really good too!

I came here last year and forgot to review. Great tapas amazing staff menu but they attempted to send every dish at once. Tapas should be as and when comes, once we asked for this they accommodated and it was great.

What a beautiful wee gem in the centre of Wrexham. Such a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were amazing and accommodating. We waited about 30 minutes for a table but they were more than happy for us to stand at bar and have a drink, they even grabbed a chair for my Dad. The food was delicious, the sausages were odd but so tasty wish I could taken more home. Oh and the MaiTai was divine and the perfect accompaniment

Everything about The Bank makes this restaurant a must-visit in Wrexham. The wine, the Mac and cheese, the tacos, the lamb chops….were all excellent. Alex provided us with an experience we will never forget. Thank you!!

Great visit on Tuesday evening. Two very friendly and helpful staff members. Great atmosphere and food. Although the menu might appear limited initially there is plenty to choose from. Our only comment would be that we would have been happy to receive dishes as they were cooked rather than everything arriving all at once given it is tapas style. Definitely on the list for return.

Came here on Tuesday for a quick drink and glad that all it was. The atmosphere about the place stank as bad as the food coming out of the kitchen most definately will not return next time we come to wrexham if ever, this place will probably be a charity shop

Tŷ Pawb is a cultural centre that features live music, comedy, and more. It's open Friday evenings from 6pm until 9pm, and has a licensed bar. There are also market stalls and a food court. The centre has a good layout with plenty of space, excellent products at reasonable prices, and great food.

The market area was so cute! Had lots of things to look at from self-owned market stalls, and there is a public gallery which changes exhibitions every 4 months. As it was our first time visiting Wrexham, everyone we interacted with there were lovely, will definitely visit again!

A great indoor market with a interesting layout, comes with several cafe choices, a good variation of market stalls, toilet facilities and a kiddies activity area. It's topped off ( quite literally ) with a multi storey car park.

Visit here often, usually to grab something to eat from one of the food outlets. Pied pieper is nice enough, portion size is abit small in my view. Wing king is my current favourite, I had Korean wings and salt and pepper hash browns. Awesome flavour, nice crunch on the wings. Salt and pepper hash browns are amazing. Best hash browns I've had. You won't be disappointed. Just desserts is always nice, I've had many things off the menu. Next time I visit I'll try the curry place, always smells good.

We’ve played at Ty Pawb a few times and it’s always a warm welcome! Good selection of classic food, some cool market stalls to peruse as well as an art gallery that usually has really interesting local and national work to explore. There are often events and workshops taking place so if you’re in Wrexham, this is a must-visit!

To be able to go from buying a carpet -D J Carpets are brilliant - and then have a delicious curry from the curry stall and pies to take home...all whilst sat on those incredible communal tables and looking at a new exhibition being hung in the gallery and kids coming in to buy sweets and others to buy wool...it's just a very special special place. Wrexham is very lucky.

Lots of little shops/stalls. Hadn't visited in years prior to this visit, I couldn't believe how much it has changed. Sat in the food court area at lunch time with some work colleagues, lots of different vendors / counters offering different food and drink choices. Great place to pop and visit.
Lynz Michelle — Google review
Brilliant place. Went with work, and leisurely. Brilliant place to hold corporate events, and great place to shop in your free time. Unfortunately, didn't have lunch there, but there was a great quantity of selection of vendors. Parking was a little bit awkward, but that could be me not using multi story car parks that frequent. Maybe some additional signage would help, but otherwise, great place!

Brilliant arts hub in Wrexham. Open to ideas, community vibes, high end gigs, open mics, theatre, cinema, food court, stalls for everyone from haircuts and sweets to bespoke gaming experiences hot fresh meals and cold beer. There's gallery and multiple art spaces which the team host plenty of alternative gigs on as well as supporting local and national events and companies such as Dirty Protest, Focus Wales and Wrexfest.

Fantastic little market style venue. Still developing and could do with getting more shops in now but those that are there are lovely. Fantastic, friendly people. Great for the kids to get involved with arts and crafts at weekend. Social food areas and a small but fantastic gallery. Do some pottery, have some food or a coffee, dabble at community painting, get your hair done in some amazing styles whilst your there for a great price. Love this place!

Pub
The Royal Oak is a charming pub that serves Joules ales and boasts a beer garden, cosy snug, and traditional British menu. It consistently offers an excellent experience, with its impressive architecture and rich history. While it opens at 4:00 pm on Thursdays, the limited selection of cask ales includes the highly enjoyable Blonde ale. This establishment attracts knowledgeable patrons who appreciate the superb beer and delightful decor.
The Royal Oak is a lovely pub me and my wife always go there on our date night and always get a warm welcome. The pub itself is really clean. I would recommend a visit if you're in town.
Ian Lloyd — Google review
Why is it all Joules pubs are so good? This one certainly does not disappoint apart from the understandable 4:00 pm opening on a Thursday afternoon. Only the two cask ales on today but the Blonde ale is such an easy drinker. Well worth a visit if only to read up about the history of the place - a truly impressive building.

Visited over the August bank holiday weekend (Sunday afternoon) and although it was quiet in town there were a few in here making plenty of noise so we ventured in. We got served quickly and the lady serving was very polite and friendly. We ordered a pint and a glass of wine and were quite shocked when it came to almost £12. More so because it was the third pub we had been in and everywhere else on the high street was between £7-9 for a similar order. We didn't stop for another drink.

The “Brew Tea Co” tea was excellent. Nice to find a place that offers and supports an independent tea selection. Blueberry Bakewell filled the void. Don’t know who baked it, but very enjoyable. Atmosphere great, service wonderful and well behaved little ones welcome (well done parents, Christmas songs in April is a bit early but hey let’s just go with the flow). I don’t get into Wrexham that often but this is where I’ll gravitate to. Bank Street Social is an asset to Wrexham. Well done and I’m looking forward to my return visit.

The best place for coffee - and meeting the locals! - in Wrexham. Fantastic coffee (and beer!), and a warm welcome guaranteed. Don't bother to bring a laptop or book as you'll end up having a chat! Venue of our end-of-season DragonHeart party too!

Wonderful guy who runs the place, always have a lovely chat everytime me and my partner pop in. Coffee is specialty and absolutely wonderful. If Bank Street is open, it's the only place we'll go! Thanks for all the amazing service and coffee. Support local! During covid-19 he's open 10am-2pm and closed on Sundays.

We got shouted at and told to hurry up and make an order by the man who was serving. We were taking longer as I was having to read the menu to my partially sighted mother. We were all quite upset and wish we had just left . Sadly we will not return. The coffee is nice but to be spoken to in that way is quite appalling.

The hot drinks are great but the range of craft beer is excellent and reasonably priced, to accompany this there is a limited food menu which includes cakes and hot sandwiches which are pretty amazing by the way.
