Things to do

Immerse yourself in the culture and the history of Wakefield, with plenty of attractions and days out for the whole family to enjoy.

Discover contemporary art and sculpture at The Hepworth Wakefield or take a stroll on the peaceful grounds of Wakefield Cathedral, the proud owner of the tallest spire in the county.

Head just outside the city and you’ll find Yorkshire Sculpture Park, a tranquil place perfect for a relaxing walk as you take in the local art. Have a leisurely cycle through the world’s first nature reserve at Haw Park Wood and nearby Anglers Country Park.

Discover the district’s mining history at the National Coal Mining Museum or travel back further in time at Sandal Castle.

Shopping

If you’re looking for a bargain or want to shop for the latest fashion trends, you can find everything you need in Wakefield.

The city centre is the perfect place for some retail therapy, with two large shopping malls Trinity Walk and The Ridings, just a short distance from each other, both offering a huge mix of high street favourites and independent stores.

Bargain hunters unite! Junction 32 in Castleford offers nearly 100 of your favourite high-end brands together in one place offering huge discounts every day on favourites like Gap, Adidas, Levis, Moss Bros and many more.

Transport

Whether you’re commuting for work or visiting friends and family elsewhere in the UK and beyond, Wakefield is not short of transport options.

Wakefield Westgate Station offers services to London, Edinburgh, Leeds, and other major cities in the UK.

Sitting close to the M1 and M62 means great links to the North and South of the country and makes travelling by car simple and fuss-free.

Leeds Bradford Airport is under an hour away by car from the town centre, for those in search of sunnier climes or wanting to travel further afield.

Food

Wakefield has long been known as the “Merrie City” due to its fantastic food and drink options. There truly is something to suit every palate and pocket here.

If you’re looking for world-class restaurants, you're spoilt for choice in the Wakefield district. Iris offers great British dining with a modern twist and Qubana’s Spanish and South American tapas or Tết’s contemporary Vietnamese and Thai cuisine are sure to delight those who fancy a culinary trip around the world. Enjoy some sushi at the stylish Hokkaido or go big and indulge yourself in the incredible interior of Wentbridge House's Fleur De Lys.

Café culture is here to stay in this Yorkshire city and if you’re looking for somewhere to take a load off after a busy morning shopping, try Create and Unwind, or vegan-friendly Corarima. After a leisurely browse of the independent shops in Castleford, sit down and relax with a proper Yorkshire cuppa at Queen’s Mill Tearooms.
