Wakefield

Wakefield is enriched with Victorian parks and gardens, areas of extended woodlands, museums, galleries and centres of heritage. Wakefield also has two very special gems; The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, set in acres of rolling parkland, and the Hepworth Museum.

For lovers of food, Wakefield is definitely the place for you, with the annual Food, Drink and Rhubarb Festival taking place here each year.  With a staggering array of bars, clubs and nightclubs there is always something to do and the annual Long Division Festival is the highlight each year, an award winning metropolitan festival  that places the best emerging grassroots artists alongside legends of Indie and DIY.

​What about shopping?  Shop till you drop in the town centre at the fabulous Wakefield Trinity and Ridings shopping centres or visit the designer outlet, Junction 32.

If sport is your thing then look no further – rugby, swimming, hiking, cycling, golf, ten pin bowling, tennis, horse riding – plus much more. Whatever your sport, Wakefield’s got it covered.
