Bringing businesses together to build a bigger,
better, busier Wrexham
What is Wrexham BID?
BID stands for Business Improvement District, which is where local businesses join forces to optimise Wrexham's potential as a thriving destination. Together, they each pay a 2% annual levy which goes back into the city centre, enhancing visitor experience and maximising profit for all. Learn more: FAQs.

What's in the BID business plan?
Pretty much everything that'll make Wrexham the best version of itself. This includes: landscaping and greening, tackling anti-social behaviour, improving cleanliness and safety, modernising local facilities and creating high-quality events throughout the year, such as music festivals and food markets, plus much more.
