Tŷ Pawb (Welsh pronunciation: [tɨ pau̯b]; lit. 'Everybody's House')[lower-roman 1] is a multi-purpose centre in Wrexham, Wales. It serves as a venue for arts, cultural and community events, as well as being a market and art gallery.[3] A redevelopment of the former Wrexham People's Market (Welsh: Marchnad y Bobl) between Chester Street and Market Street in Wrexham city centre, the community centre opened on 2 April 2018. 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.
