Queen's Square (Welsh: Sqwâr y Frenhines) is a public square in Wrexham city centre, North Wales. It is located adjacent to the Wrexham Guildhall and Old Library. It is a main site for various events in the city, in particular outdoor markets.

Description

The Old Library[1][2] and Tŷ Henblas[3] are located next to the square. Next to the square is also a proposed re-development known as "Chapter Court",[4] which included the Wrexham Enterprise Hub from 2018 to 2023.[5] From 1910 to 1960, adjacent to the old library, the square housed a temporary cinema building known as the "Glynn Cinema",[6][7] or "Glynn Picture House".[8] Prior to Tŷ Henblas, there was a Vegetable Market next to Queens Square, but it was eventually demolished for the Henblas Square development.[9]

Various events are held in the square, such as for the armed forces,[10] emergency services,[11] and Saint David's Day.[12] A family playday[13] and art exhibitions are also held in the square, such as Wrexham's Christmas tree (including the annual Christmas light switching-on event),[14] the Knife Angel,[15][16] and a 2013 man in a bin exhibit.[17][18] For Focus Wales 2023 festival, it hosted Hwb Cymraeg as part of the May event.[19]

In 2005, it was the first site in Wales chosen for a public broadcasting system, which involved the installing of a large television screen.[20]

A weekly market on Mondays has been held in the square since 2006.[21][22][23] Routinely various one-day markets take place in the square, which included an artisan market,[24] continental market,[25] plant-based market,[26] and part of Wrexham's Victorian Christmas market.[27]

Re-development proposals for the square were put forward by the council in 2016.[28]
