Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, and I'm back with another exciting travel diary post from the magical city of Wrexham!
You know, my loves, I've been dreaming of visiting Wrexham for ages. Ever since I saw a photograph of the stunning old church – St. Giles – I knew I had to come and see it in all its glory. The majestic spire, the ancient stones… it's like something out of a fairytale!
This trip, my dears, was extra special because it involved a lovely journey by train. Oh, the joy of a long, leisurely ride through the English countryside, watching the green hills roll by and the clouds drift across the sky. It's just so calming and peaceful! And, of course, my travelling tutu had to be a perfect shade of pale pink – a colour that always puts me in the most dreamy mood.
Speaking of pink, Wrexham itself is like a little pocket of loveliness tucked away in the heart of Wales. Everywhere you look, there's history, there's charm, there's just a little touch of magic. The streets are bursting with colour – think vibrant, blooming flower baskets, beautifully restored Victorian architecture, and a scattering of charming little cafes with pastel coloured facades. Honestly, it's like a pink-tutu loving queen's dream!
I knew my first stop had to be the magnificent St. Giles. It's a church with so much history, and I simply had to see it with my own eyes. And, my darlings, let me tell you, it's even more magnificent in real life. It’s majestic! So tall, so grand, with its beautiful stained-glass windows that flood the space with shimmering colour. Just breathtaking! I almost forgot to pose for a photo, it was that inspiring!
After a moment of pure wonder, I popped into one of Wrexham’s independent shops for a quick browse. I mean, a queen’s got to shop, right? There I found the cutest pink cardigan adorned with embroidered roses and sequins, perfect for adding a touch of sparkle to any day, especially one spent in the enchanting Welsh countryside. You bet it’s going to grace my wardrobe on the next blog post – keep an eye out!
Of course, my visit to Wrexham wouldn’t be complete without indulging in the local cuisine. I treated myself to a delectable Welsh cake – warm, sweet, and so incredibly tasty – and let me tell you, I wouldn't say no to another one!
Before heading back, I simply had to see the local market. And let me tell you, darling, it was absolutely fantastic! I could have spent hours browsing the stalls filled with colourful crafts, beautiful pottery, fresh produce, and so much more. I even bought myself a delightful pink handmade beaded necklace – perfect for adding a little bit of sparkle to my pink-tutu loving heart!
And, of course, what’s a day in Wrexham without a good ol’ spot of ballet? It’s the city's beautiful, old theatre I was headed for after the market – you can’t get a performance in every city! They have so many shows and even run a lovely ballet school – it makes me feel right at home!
In the evening, I treated myself to a delicious supper of a traditional Welsh dish, all washed down with a good cup of Welsh tea. My dears, it was truly a lovely experience, full of beauty, warmth, and comfort. It's these little pockets of magic in the world, the ones that leave you feeling truly inspired, that I love the most.
This visit to Wrexham was a complete dream come true. It was a city filled with pink-tutu vibes, from the picturesque streets to the warm hospitality of the locals. I simply cannot wait to return one day. It’s already making my list of favourite cities for a quick weekend break.
You know, darlings, when it comes to travel, I’m all about soaking up the atmosphere, the history, the charm. And Wrexham certainly has it all! Plus, a good old trip by train never fails to make my day – or should I say, my sparkle! I can’t wait to explore the next charming little corner of the world!
Oh, and while I'm at it, keep an eye out for my latest fashion spread on pink-tutu.com. We've been working hard on creating some gorgeous outfits inspired by my recent travels! Who knows, you might just be inspired to embrace the power of a pink tutu too!
Until next time, darlings!
Love and pink sparkles,

The Glamorous Life of Alex, aka Pink Tutu SparklesMy darlings, did you know that when I’m not shimmering on stage, I’m working hard in a lab – well, it wouldn’t be very dramatic to say I’m testing fabrics for durability and performance – pretty glam, eh?!
I’ve always been fascinated by the way materials work and their strength, but I’ll never forget when I first started university – studying science, of course, what else? – I found a love for the colour pink and tutus. A love so strong that even a few years later it became the defining element of my entire personality!
You see, there was this student fundraising day at the university. I mean, what self-respecting student could say no to a good charitable cause? So I took part in their drag show. And guess what? There was only one outfit available in my size… and it was pink! Yes, the famous pink tutu – the very same tutu that helped me find my stage name and inspire my colourful drag career.
After that day, I was hooked on pink tutus – and what better colour for the stage, right? The energy, the colour, it simply radiates the joy I feel while dancing.
As a scientist, I get to look into the heart of what makes fabrics tick, but it’s my true passion, drag, that fills my heart.
You see, my darlings, life is all about finding that element, that one thing that sparks something within you. For me, it's the pink tutu! It represents confidence, fun, and the magic of transformation. You see, everyone can be glamorous! So, why not embrace the sparkle and add a little touch of magic to your life too? Maybe you’ll find your pink tutu – maybe you’ll become a scientist by day, and a glamorous queen by night, just like me!
The world's your oyster – go grab it!
