Wakefield Civic Society Blue Plaques Trail at Wakefield

Since 1995, the Society has erected 32 blue plaques around Wakefield to highlight noteworthy buildings, people or events. Details are available on our website at http://www.wakefieldcivicsociety.org.uk/?c=p/plaques/

A booklet detailing all the plaques is available to purchase direct from the Civic Society or from Wakefield Tourist Information Centre for a modest cost.

Wakefield Civic Society can provide guided walks of the city centre to organised groups. The duration and route of each walk can be tailored to meet the needs of your group but we suggest a minimum of around two hours as a starting point and a limit on group numbers of approximately 20 people.

The Society is registered charity (number 236034) and walks will be provided by volunteer members of the Society’s committee in return for a donation to the Society’s funds. For more information, please email info@wakefieldcivicsociety.org.uk or telephone 07967 516841

The Society also provides guided walks from time to time throughout the year – please see our Events Programme website page at http://www.wakefieldcivicsociety.org.uk/?c=p/events/
