Wakey Wakey!
The secret's out! A Wakefield awakening is happening… we might not be Yorkshire's biggest city – but by 'eck we pack a punch when it comes to things to see and do…
The district of Wakefield, including Wakefield City, Pontefract, Castleford and the surrounding towns and villages, is a fresh and bracing place of creativity and surprise.
Located in the heart of Yorkshire, our district showcases the very best that God's Own County has to offer, from sculpture and heritage to culture and countryside; Wakefield is a place of adventure and invigoration, not to mention plentiful helpings of rhubarb and liquorice.
If you're lucky enough to live here you're spoilt for choice, with many things to do right on your doorstep. If you're visiting from further afield, there's plenty to welcome you time and again.
You'll find all the information you need to know right here. Now it's over to you, time to start planning... come one, come all – Wakefield is waiting for you.
