Book Accommodation in Wakefield: Things to Do

Wakefield has long been renowned for its excellent food and drink scene, earning the nickname “Merrie City” during the Middle Ages. This reputation continues to thrive today.

Food:

The Wakefield area offers a wide range of exceptional dining establishments. If you’re in search of modernised Great British cuisine, you’ll adore Iris. For a taste of Spain and South America, Qubana’s tapas is a must-try, while T offers modern Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. Indulge in sushi and teppanyaki at Hokkaido or enjoy a lavish dining experience at Fleur De Lys in Wentbridge House.

Drink:

No fantastic meal is complete without a great drink to accompany it, and Wakefield doesn’t disappoint in that regard either. The Jolly Tap and Fernandes Brewery Tap & Bier Keller serve locally brewed real ales, while Now Serving offers unique and exciting drinks. Whether you’re in the city centre at The Establishment or near Newmillerdam at The Fox and Hounds, you’re sure to find your new “local” watering hole.

Sightseeing and Shopping:

A visit to Wakefield Cathedral is a must when in the area. Dating back to around 1150 AD, the church features the tallest spire in Yorkshire. The Wakefield Cathedral Choir has been heard on BBC Radio 3’s Choral Evensong and BBC One’s Songs of Praise. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is an outdoor gallery showcasing both British and international artwork. With its ever-changing exhibition schedule, there is always something new to see, making it a delightful place for a stroll. If shopping is your passion, the Meadowhall Shopping Centre is a must-visit destination.
