Where do I start..? The whole experience was simply amazing! Hubby arranged for the two of us to visit under the Afternoon Tea for Two package as a birthday treat and it was just bliss. Sam is friendly, attentive and makes you feel so welcomed and relaxed. The hydro therapy hot tub was a great start to a a thoroughly enjoyable time. The lovingly decorated cabin with everything you could possibly need, followed by the most chilled out aromatherapy massage was just what we both needed. Nothing was too much for Sam, and every detail has been well thought out and taken care of. The afternoon tea itself was delicious and knowing everything was homemade made for a perfect end to a great day. Thank you very much, Sam :) We'll definitely be back again!

We are a 60 minute live escape experience. On arrival you will be greeted and briefed before entering the themed game room and being ‘locked in’. You and your party will then have 60 minutes to find and solve numerous theme based clues and puzzles that lead to your escape.
Our first escape room and didn’t know what to expect. My wife loves puzzles but hates dark, scary rooms, the unexpected and frights! She was very apprehensive before we started but absolutely loved it once we figured it out and got into solving the puzzles and escaping. We both really enjoyed it and yes it is scary and frightening. We completed with 13 seconds to spare - £40 for 2 people, excellent value.

The cafe was lovely with nice snacks and meals and takeaway hot drinks. Lovely play area especially a walk through the woods for den building was a huge hit with my son! Great for children who love exploring and the outdoors. And the staff were so friendly and helpful extremely pleasant staff which made the visit even more enjoyable! Will defiantley be back here!

Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is the UK’s leading outdoor art gallery and an international centre for modern and contemporary sculpture. It is an independent charitable trust and registered museum situated in the 18th-century Bretton Hall estate in West Yorkshire. Founded in 1977 by Executive Director Peter Murray, YSP was the first sculpture park in the UK, and is the largest of its kind in Europe, providing the only place in Europe to see Barbara Hepworth’s 'The Family of Man' in its entirety alongside a significant collection of sculpture, including bronzes by Henry Moore and site-specific works by Andy Goldsworthy, David Nash and James Turrell. YSP mounts a world-class, year-round temporary exhibitions programme including some of the world’s leading artists across six indoor galleries and 500 acres of open air. YSP also offers an outstanding learning and family programme, award-winning shops and restaurants, a varied events programme, and a beautiful setting to enjoy nature.
We find this a superb destination- easily accessible, good walks, interesting sculptures and other artistic installations, quality shop and good food. In particular we have always found the other visitors courteous and considerate- probably because the visitor base is family orientated. Highly recommended.

For over 1000 years, people have been gathering in this holy place to offer their prayers and praise to Almighty God. As they still do every day. It’s difficult to tell from a website, but here we are located right in the centre of the city, surrounded by shops and businesses, with people passing our doors as they go about their daily life. Many of those people stop by to light a candle, say a prayer, or spend a moment of stillness and calm.
Great place. The cathedral cafe is open, and Covid safe, lovely open peaceful spacious place, more tables than when I last visited, looks good. The coffee & food (breakfast and lunch -they close by 4) very reasonably priced considering how nice it is. It’s the the more modern bit of the building accessed via the gateway under the trees. I think you can get to it from inside the cathedral too. Looks like the shop element is on hold in favour of creating space for the cafe - but a few souvenirs available.

Went to see Frankie Valli story and it was an amazing evening out. The theatre is beautiful and the atmosphere was awesome with lots of audience participation. (clapping and singing) Loved the show and the whole ambience with great seats to boot. Highly recommend.

Superb little bar with good atmosphere. Serves probably the best beer in Wakefield (along with the Black Rock). Always a good selection of real ales. Once in this cosy pub it's difficult to drag yourself away. No tv, music etc..., great place for a few beers and a chat.

We were ready for a trip out after lockdown so went to Newmillerdam Country Park. After a light lunch at the Fox and Hounds we had a lovely walk through the woodland along the edge of the lake. It wasn't too busy and Wakefield city council have made the parking free until September 2020.
