  • Introduction

    Ruthin Future is Ruthin Town Council's community plan initiative which was established in 2011, and has supported the implementation of a number of projects, including the Ruthin Art Trail, and more recently the development of The Old Courthouse to be a Community, Civic and Visitor hub, as well as the development of UK GOvernment funded projects beingf delivered by DCC such as Cae Ddol improvements, and Public Realm works in the Town Centre.

    Ruthin Town Council are now embarking on another community engagement period to outline how key ambitions are progressing as projects in partnership with other stakeholders such as Parc Clwyd’ - improving the network of Green spaces within the town and alongside the river, as well as ideas to develop an events and culture strategy to maximise the use of public spaces and facilities currently being upgraded through UK Government and Welsh Government funding.

    As part of the initiative, local people will have numerous opportunities in March 2026 to engage through a programme of events that put Ruthin once again at the forefront of national debate about the sustainability of smaller UK Towns.

    Pam fod Treftadaeth yn Bwysig? - Why is Heritage Important?
    gan / by Dr Elaine Davey

    Bydd yr araith dreflun allweddol hon yn sefydlu'r cyd-destun strategol ar gyfer Dyfodol Rhuthun ’26 drwy archwilio sut mae treftadaeth yn gweithredu fel seilwaith hanfodol o fewn trefi marchnad llwyddiannus. Drwy osod treftadaeth nid fel cyfyngiad ond fel cyfle, bydd y noson yn fframio adfywio dan arweiniad cadwraeth fel egwyddor sylfaenol rhaglen esblygol Dyfodol Rhuthun / Dyfodol Rhuthun.

    This keynote townscape address will establish the strategic context for Ruthin Future ’26 by examining how heritage functions as critical infrastructure within successful market towns.
    By situating heritage not as constraint but as opportunity, the evening will frame conservation-led regeneration as a foundational principle of the evolving Ruthin Future programme.

    Datblygu Strategaeth Digwyddiadau a Diwylliant
    Developing an Events & Culture Strategy
    6.30yh - Yr Hen Lys / 6.30pm The Old Courthouse

    Trafodaeth strwythuredig gyda'r nod o gryfhau calendr digwyddiadau blynyddol a rhaglennu diwylliannol Rhuthun fel gyrwyr economaidd.

    Nid yw datblygu strategaeth digwyddiadau a diwylliant tref yn ymwneud â rhaglennu gweithgareddau yn unig — mae'n ymwneud â sefydlu fframwaith cydlynol sy'n cryfhau hunaniaeth, gwydnwch economaidd a bywiogrwydd lle hirdymor. I dref farchnad hanesyddol fel Rhuthun, mae strategaeth digwyddiadau a diwylliant yn gweithredu fel seilwaith lle, gan geisio dod â mwy o gydweithio a chydlynu ar draws grwpiau a rhanddeiliaid.

    Pwy ddylai fynychu? - Trefnwyr digwyddiadau, gwirfoddolwyr, darparwyr lletygarwch, grwpiau celfyddydol ac ymarferwyr diwylliannol.

    I dref farchnad hanesyddol fel Rhuthun, nid ymarfer logo yw brandio lleoedd — mae'n offeryn economaidd a diwylliannol strategol.
