What's on in Wakefield
A vibrant city-centre mix of culture, green spaces and community events.
The Hepworth Wakefield anchors a compact cultural quarter along the Calder waterfront, with the Yorkshire Sculpture Park a short drive further out for a longer day trip.
Back in the centre, Trinity Walk and the Theatre Royal keep evenings and weekends busy year-round, with regular markets and events on Wakefield One’s doorstep.
