After months of planning and collaboration, Nightingale House Hospice is proud to reveal one of its most exciting projects to date, the launch of the official Wrexham Monopoly.
Developed in partnership with This is Wrexham, Wrexham AFC, and global game maker Hasbro, this special edition Monopoly board celebrates everything that makes Wrexham unique, from its iconic landmarks and much-loved attractions to the brilliant local businesses that give the city its heart.
An initial run of 4,000 boards will be produced, with all profits supporting the vital work of Nightingale House Hospice, providing compassionate, specialist palliative care to patients and their families across the region.
“This project has been a fantastic journey from the start,” said Sarah Povey, Corporate and Donor Relationships Manager at Nightingale House Hospice.
“The idea first came about two years ago after seeing the success of other regional Monopoly boards, and I’m incredibly proud to see it now coming to life.
“It’s a fun and creative way to support the hospice, every board sold helps us continue providing compassionate care to those who need it most.”
Joe Bickerton, Tourism Manager for Wrexham County Borough Council, added: “As the Destination Management Organisation for Wrexham County, we’ve been thrilled to support Nightingale House Hospice launch this official version of Wrexham Monopoly, and this much loved board game will be in demand across the globe, with all proceeds supporting the tremendous work of the hospice here in Wrexham.
“From a tourism point of view, the board includes iconic locations around the County and highlights many of our hospitality businesses backed by sponsorship from companies who are equally as passionate about Wrexham as we are!”
The Wrexham Monopoly offers a fresh twist on the classic game, swapping London’s famous streets for Wrexham’s own local favourites. From the Racecourse Ground to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, and from local businesses to the city’s proud mining heritage, the board shines a spotlight on the places, people, and spirit that make Wrexham such a special community.
The official pre-sale will launch via the Nightingale House Hospice website in the coming weeks, giving supporters the first chance to secure their copy. Any remaining boards will be available for general purchase in spring, coinciding with an exciting launch event to celebrate the project’s completion.
Whether you’re a lifelong local, a proud supporter of Wrexham AFC, or simply a Monopoly enthusiast, this is your chance to own a piece of Wrexham’s story and support a cause that touches countless lives across North-East Wales.
Board sponsorship opportunities are still available, with discounted rates offered to tourism businesses thanks to support from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
