Welcome to Wakefield

There are few better examples of a great British city that changes with the times than Wakefield. It is known by many for its place in the War of the Roses, as well as its vital role within the Industrial Revolution. These are key pieces of history which continue to fascinate through the architecture and museums found throughout Wakefield. Today though, it has transformed itself into a marvellously modern place to live, with regeneration projects since the millennium breathing new life into the city.

Residents can now benefit from both new opportunities and innovations, such as the Trinity Walk retail redevelopment, alongside a reinvigorated centre and an art gallery which has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors since it opened in 2011. It’s also a city that boasts a brilliant nightlife scene, with plenty of wonderful pubs, clubs and restaurants to choose from. This means that whether you’re looking for a quiet pint, a nice meal or to dance the night away, you can find everything you need right here.

On top of that, there’s Wakefield’s incredible natural beauty, with the likes of Thornes Park adding mother nature’s touch to a land overwhelmed with gorgeous architectural marvels. There are so many new things to enjoy about Wakefield, but these stunning landscapes are something that has remained the same throughout all the changes.

Finally, when you consider its excellent transport links – with Wakefield Westgate train station connecting you to the rest of the country – and the fact that it’s a much more reasonably priced area that many of its neighbours, then it’s fair to say that Wakefield is truly something special. There are not many cities that can offer more in terms of sheer variety than the historic yet innovative city of Wakefield.
