Wakefield is packed with things to do for all ages. Start your adventure with a visit to The Hepworth Gallery, showcasing contemporary art, or explore the stunning outdoor exhibits at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Dive into history at the National Coal Mining Museum, where you can learn about the region's industrial past. For outdoor enthusiasts, Pugneys Country Park and Newmillerdam offer beautiful settings for walks, picnics, and water activities.

Families will love a day at Diggerland in nearby Castleford, where kids (and some dads!) can operate real construction machinery. If shopping is your thing, head to Trinity Walk for local shopping or take a trip to the Xscape outlet for a mix of retail and entertainment, including cinemas and indoor ski slopes at Junction 32 of the M62.
