Experience Wakefield. That’s exactly what we want you to do. We are at the heart of the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle, home to The Hepworth Wakefield, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the birthplace of Dame Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. Our galleries, castles, museums, hotels and attractions welcome millions of families each year. Visit us for days out, short stays, exhibitions, events and festivals.
Make the most of sunny spring and enjoy a woodland walk through Haw Park Wood, stroll around the stunning lake of Newmillerdam Country Park or just sit and watch wildlife at Anglers Country Park.
Join a free guided tour around Yorkshire Sculpture Park exploring its interesting past, historic lakes and woodland.
Or stroll among the birch, oak and ash woodland that surrounds the National Coal Mining Museum for England.
The next Wakefield Artwalk takes place on Wednesday 29 May across 16 Wakefield venues. Chat to artists, browse art and exhibitions or attend talks or readings - just drop in between 5-9pm.
Wakefield Artwalk is informal and friendly, come alone or with friends and family and make your way around the venues at your own pace.
Pick up an art walk map from Wakefield Visitor Centre or from any of the participating venues.
