Betsan Moses said the event, being staged on farmland at Is-y-Coed on the eastern outskirts of Wrexham, is the culmination of two years of hard work organising and fundraising.

Ms Moses said everyone was pleased with the arrangements that had been made. “The police were happy that traffic moved freely throughout the day and the car parks were full,” she said.
