Stori Brymbo – A Place Where Stories of Industry, Nature and People Come Together
The transformation of Stori Brymbo in Wrexham continues to gather pace, as this ambitious heritage and community project moves closer to opening its doors as a fully-fledged visitor attraction in Spring 2026.
Fossil Forest
Building on Brymbo’s incredible industrial and geological past, Stori Brymbo will tell the story of the people, the place, and the landscape that shaped one of Wales’s most fascinating sites — from the 314-million-year-old Fossil Forest buried beneath our feet, which is already open to the public on Sundays, to the Steelworks and Ironworks that once forged a thriving community above it.
The new attraction will blend heritage interpretation, immersive storytelling and hands-on experiences, bringing together science, nature and social history in a completely new way. Alongside its exhibition spaces, visitors will also be able to enjoy a welcoming café, a gallery, and a distinctive artisan and retail offering.
While work continues behind the scenes on the build-up to 2026, there’s still plenty happening right now for those who can’t wait to experience Stori Brymbo.
Each week, visitors can join Guided Fossil Forest Tours, meet our palaeontologist and hear about and see the latest discoveries at one of the UK’s most remarkable fossil sites.
And as we head into the festive season, there’s even more to enjoy. Christmas at Stori Brymbo will take place on Sunday 7th, 14th and 21st December, with three weekends full of family-friendly activities — from Junior Fossil Club Christmas Specials and festive activity trails to artisan markets and finishing with a visit from Santa’s float on the final Sunday before Christmas!
Community Wassail Event
Following Christmas, we’ll be hosting one last big event before the focus turns fully to preparing for our grand opening. On Sunday, 19th January 2026, we invite you to shake off the winter blues and join us for a community Wassail event. Wassailing is all about celebrating orchards and wishing for a good harvest. It’s a wonderful way to support our orchard project, meet neighbours, and enjoy some seasonal fun before the year ahead.
Every visit, event and volunteer hour helps build towards 2026 – supporting the creation of a lasting legacy that celebrates Brymbo’s story of resilience, regeneration and renewal.
