Ey Up Wakefield

Shop it. Eat it.
Love it. It's Wakefield.

Ey Up Wakefield is our citywide celebration of everything the Merrie City does best — powered by the businesses that call it home.

Shop

From Trinity Walk and The Ridings to Wakefield Exchange and one-of-a-kind independents down Kirkgate and Cross Square — Wakefield rewards a good mooch. Look for the Ey Up Wakefield badge in windows to spot BID members.

Eat & Drink

Independent food vendors at Wakefield Exchange, tasting menus on Cross Street, Cuban cocktails in a Grade II listed bank, and real ale in a restored warehouse. Wakefield's food and drink scene punches well above its weight.

Culture & Heritage

Yorkshire's tallest cathedral spire, a jewel-box Frank Matcham theatre, artist studios, galleries and 800 years of history — all within a ten-minute walk. Time your visit with an Artwalk evening for the full experience.

Wakefield in Bloom

A city centre in flower

Every spring and summer, the BID's floral installations and planters bring colour to the city's streets and squares — part of our year-round work to make the city centre a place worth lingering in.
