Llwybrau Llafar (Spoken Paths)<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n

Are you ready to learn about Wrexham\u2019s eerie history or are you sharp enough to solve all the mysteries and secrets hiding in plain site at our pop-up Escape Room? <\/p>\n\n

Thanks to the Wrecsam2029 Cultural Commission Grant, Menter Iaith Fflint a Wrecsam are excited to share Wrexham\u2019s history, heritage and culture along with local myths, legends and folklore in a series of fun and playful events over the coming months. <\/p>\n\n

Our first event will be our \u2018Taith y Tolaeth\u2019 ghost tour around the city centre with \u2018Ghost Tours North Wales\u2019 \u2013 a chance for Welsh speakers and learners alike to uncover Wrexham\u2019s dark history and meet some of its most fearsome and notorious characters on a guided walk filled with chilling tales.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

We\u2019re also working on our first ever pop-up Welsh language escape room called Amgueddfaaa!<\/strong> where you\u2019ll need to solve puzzles, search for hidden clues, and find a way to alert the emergency services before the thieves make off with all the museums\u2019 treasures! The perfect way to bond (or fallout) with friends or as a family.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

As part of the project, we\u2019re also launching a pilot event Bwystfilod y Bwrdeistref<\/strong> (Monsters of the Borough), which will see local schools to Bellevue Park, invited to come and listen to fascinating local tales and legends and learn about magical creatures hiding within their own back garden with renowned storytellers Fiona Collins (author of Wrexham Folktales<\/em>) and Professor Llusern (creator of the storytelling podcast Yma Mae Dreigiau<\/em>).<\/p><\/p>\n\n

And there\u2019s more to come between now and end of January as we want as many people as possible \u2013 children, families, young people and those who are on their Welsh language journey to have a chance to learn about their local area, to practise and use their Welsh, and of course to celebrate Wrexham. <\/p>\n\n

Our aim is to bring local history and legends alive in an interactive, creative, and playful way that captures the heart and sparks the imagination.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to create something different \u2013 something that would help and encourage people to use their Welsh naturally whilst enjoying a unique experience,\u201d said Maiwenn Berry, Menter Iaith Fflint a Wrecsam\u2019s Chief Officer. <\/p>\n\n

Full details about dates, locations, and how to book will be shared soon on Menter Iaith Fflint a Wrecsam\u2019s social media pages and www.menterfflintwrecsam.cymru<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n\n

The \u2018Llwybrau Llafar\u2019 project has received \u00a38,000 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.<\/p>\n\n

– ends \u2013<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n
