Wile away a day rediscovering the charm of authentic Welsh pubs and unique real ales, without having to worry about who’s driving! The Wrexham bus based real ale trail runs twice a year, taking your to some of the best pubs, found in the villages dotted around Wrexham County. The route is always changing – new pubs and new ales are added to every Trail, so there’s always something new to experience.
Great Pubs & Great Real Ale…
Wrexham Real Ale Trail takes you and your friends from the urban centre of Wrexham town out into the Welsh countryside to visit great rural pubs. Stopping off in some picturesque villages such as Bwlchgwyn, the highest village in Wales.
We hand select pubs on the Trail based on their selection of Real Ale and hospitality. Each of the pubs has a unique atmosphere and if you’re staying for the whole day – and why wouldn’t you? – finding something to eat won’t be a problem either.
The route and the ales never stays the same with a new pub joining this April. There’s always something new to experience on the Trail.
So grab a friend and join the Trail for a great day out!
We’ve organise the transport between pubs, so there no need for DES (designated driver), we’ve got it all sorted! Enjoy the best locally produced Real Ales, food and entertainment Wrexham has to offer with friends on the Trail. Hop on and off the Real Ale shuttle buses as many times as you like between 12noon and 10 pm.
If Real Ale isn’t your thing, your still welcome on the Trail. The pubs will be serving a range of drink as usual alongside some specials Real Ales made especially for the day.
Tickets get you unlimited travel!
There will be a minimum of three real ales in each pub (with at least 50 ales on the whole Trail) but if ale isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other drinks available and lots of atmosphere to soak up as well!
Any cider lovers won’t want to miss out on Wrexham’s Saith Seren, with its real cider, sourced locally from Rosie’s and Gwynt y Ddraig.
Wrexham is also home to microbreweries such as Magic Dragon Brewery (Brewed at The Plassey), Big Hand Brewery and Sandstone Brewery, which provide Real Ale to the pubs on the Trail.
Wrexham Real Ale Trail will be held in April 2019 and follows the same principles as all the other trails. Start where you like, when you like, but make sure you do it with great friends.
