Your social life just got a boost

Queens Park Rangers, The R’s, for those with better things to do than pronounce full club names are heading to Wrexham mid-September. They spent much of last season clinging to Championship safety like a cat to a shower curtain, eventually landing 18th. Now they’re hoping for a reset with their signature counter-attacking football quick out wide, and occasionally effective. Wrexham, meanwhile, roll into this one with belief, momentum, and the noise of a sold-out STōK Cae Ras. The Turf will match that intensity beat for beat.

If you’ve got a ticket, this is your pre-match and post-match HQ. And if you don’t? You’ll still want to be here. The match won’t be shown live, but the roar from the pitch will carry straight through the walls. The Turf offers the next best thing to being in the ground and if you choose to miss it, don’t worry… someone will definitely remind you. Repeatedly.

Live at The Turf

The Rams will be making the journey from the East Midlands, horns polished and hoping to leave with more than polite applause. Their football? Structured, steady, and about as thrilling as a committee meeting, until it suddenly works. They’ll be hoping it does. Wrexham, meanwhile, will be counting on home support to crank the noise up and the pressure on.

Whether you’ve got a ticket or not, The Turf is your matchday starting point. Come early, grab a pint, something to eat from the butty van, and settle in with the usual pre-match optimism. If you’re heading to the ground, make sure to stop back in after the final whistle. If you’re not, stay put we’re airing the match live inside the pub, where the atmosphere rarely drops below full tilt. Skip it, and you’ll absolutely be hearing about it from everyone who didn’t.

Live at The Turf

Mark your calendars, sharpen your pencils, tattoo it on your forehead, whatever it takes to remember because the Blues are heading up from the West Midlands at the beginning of October. Let’s be honest, this wouldn’t be half as fun if it weren’t for the names up top. Brady’s bringing the NFL polish, Rob’s bringing the chaos, and somehow, it’s turned into one of those fixtures that matters more than it probably should. And we’re all here for it.

And the show starts at The Turf. Got a ticket? Grab a pint, hit the butty van, and head to the ground, just don’t forget to come back after the final whistle. No ticket? Stay put because we’re airing the match live inside the pub, where the energy doesn’t dip. It’s under the lights, which makes everything louder, sharper, and just a bit more personal. Skip The Turf, and you’ll be hearing about it all week. Whether you like it or not.

Live at The Turf

The Declan Swans are set to turn The Turf FanZone into the loudest spot in Wrexham, guitars roaring, lyrics flying, and a crowd ready to shake the place to its bones. This isn’t your average gig; it’s a full-throttle night in support of the Terry Fox Run Wrexham and The Institute of Cancer Research UK, blending music, mayhem, and meaning in equal measure. Expect the chaos only The Swans can deliver: singalongs shouted louder than the band itself, stories that somehow get funnier with every pint, and an atmosphere thick enough to rattle the windows. If you’ve been before, you know. If you haven’t, you’re about to find out.

And here’s the best bit: it’s free entry. No tickets, no faff, just turn up and dive in. From the first chord to the final chorus, this is a night to throw yourself into headfirst part gig, part gathering, part fundraiser, and all heart. So grab your mates, bring your voice (tuneful or not, no one’s judging), and be part of a night where Wrexham music and Wrexham spirit come together for something bigger than us all. The Declan Swans will supply the soundtrack; the rest is up to you.

Oxford United are heading over from the land of dreaming spires and overpriced scarves, hoping to make an impression in mid-October. They call themselves the U’s, which sounds less like a football club and more like an incomplete sentence. Their mascot is an ox named Olly, because of course it is, and while he won’t be making the trip, the rest of the herd will be looking to cause trouble.

And if you’re anywhere near Wrexham, you’ll want to be part of it. The Turf isn’t just a pit stop, it’s where matchday finds its footing. Pints are poured, theories are shared, and someone’s always got a mate who “knows someone at the club.” Whether you’re off to the ground or watching the crowds roll past, this is where the heartbeat is. If you miss it, well… you’ll be the only one who did.
