Tŷ Pawb

It provides exhibitions, a gallery, a food court, small stage concerts and live events, as well as a market space for local traders and the relocation of Oriel Wrecsam.

A multi-storey car park is located on top of Tŷ Pawb, on the building's upper floors.

[5] The centre hosts as one of the venues of Focus Wales, an annual music festival held in Wrexham.

[6] Wal Pawb (Welsh for 'Everybody's Wall')[7][8] is a large, revolving billboard advertising various selected artworks located in the building.

The square was designed using a concept of "baggy space", utilising translucent heavy industrial plastic sheets suspended on rails, equivalent to curtains, which allow for the square to be easily divided between concurrent events hosted in Sgwâr y Bobl.

The site was later home to the Wrexham Corn Mills, established here in the 1890s and comprising a complex of brick warehouses, later converted into offices and wholesale premises.

[12] Both developments saw excessive vacant space within their units due to the attraction of out-of-town retail areas near the A483 dual carriageway, as well as not being a core part of the historic city centre.

[21] Plans of the redevelopment initially showed a 10-year £900,000 loss, rising to £2.1 million if Arts Council of Wales funding could not be secured,[22] although supporters of the project stated that such cost was the "price as [a] nation we pay for our heritage and our arts and our culture", likening it to the cost of the education system.

[28] It was initially expected that trading would continue side-by-side with construction work; however, in December 2016, the council U-turned on the policy, announcing that the market would be closed during redevelopment.

'Everybody's Monday'), 2 April 2018;[39][40][41][42] the former Oriel gallery in the Wrexham Library was later converted to a local police station.

[46] From opening in April 2018 to December 2018, it was reported that the centre received 53,000 visitors but a predicted £173,00 deficit, with £139,600 paid using the council's arts budget.

Issues over the short trading hours of market traders in the centre were discussed among councillors in a council committee meeting.

Car park income and increases in repair and maintenance costs were additional reasons stated for high expenditure, as were a reduction in venue hire charges, although future forecasts of the centre's finances were described as being "a lot more favourable".

Despite Tŷ Pawb's running at a loss, councillors stated that its finances are an improvement from those of the former People's Market.

In January 2024, the centre was stated to face a projected yearly cost of £280,000, with £200,000 hoped to be covered by Arts Council Wales funding.

The amounts of energy were tied to its concrete structure, poor insulation and the atmospheric control used in Gallery 1, as well as the car park's roof and the centre's boiler.

The council announced they would be implementing measures to cut the costs with the building and increase revenue, particularly with its car park.
