Welcome to Mold – A Town with Heart

Whether you're visiting for the first time or rediscovering your hometown, there's something special about Mold (Yr Wyddgrug). Steeped in history, rich in culture and renowned for its warm welcome, Mold is a thriving market town at the heart of North East Wales.

From the ancient earthworks of Bailey Hill and the magnificent St Mary's Church to the literary legacy of Daniel Owen, Wales' first novelist, Mold's story stretches back thousands of years. The town is also home to one of North Wales' largest and most vibrant street markets, attracting visitors from across the region every Wednesday and Saturday.

Culture is woven into everyday life in Mold. Home to the nationally acclaimed Theatr Clwyd, a busy programme of festivals, live music, community events and independent businesses, the town offers something for everyone throughout the year. Visitors can explore local history, enjoy award-winning food and drink, discover unique independent shops, or simply soak up the welcoming atmosphere that makes Mold such a special place.

Mold is also proud of its role in shaping Welsh history and culture. From the internationally significant Mold Gold Cape and the legacy of Daniel Owen to famous moments such as The Beatles' performance at the Assembly Rooms, the town has played an important part in the story of Wales and beyond. These stories continue to inspire new generations and form the foundation of Mold's exciting vision for the future.

As the lead authority behind Mold's ambitious UK Town of Culture 2028 bid, Mold Town Council is working alongside local organisations, businesses and community groups to celebrate everything that makes our town unique. The bid builds upon Mold's remarkable heritage, vibrant arts scene and strong community spirit, creating new opportunities for residents and visitors alike while leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.

Whether you're here to shop, explore our heritage, enjoy a performance, attend one of our many events or simply experience our friendly market town, you'll soon discover why Mold is more than a town – it's a way of life.

We look forward to welcoming you to Mold.
