Our Year is a year-long programme of spectacles, unique festivals, major events and community-led activities that will celebrate all that the Wakefield district has to offer from art, heritage, sport and music to food and drink.
And in April, there’s something for everyone, whether it’s meeting some of your movie heroes at Trinity Walk’s Star Walk, cheering on the runners at this year’s coal race or enjoying all that’s on offer at the Peddlers Market at Tileyard North.
