Wakefield shone brightly last night as you came out in your thousands to enjoy the first night of Light Up Wakefield ⭐ Thank you to @wtrinityrl for turning on the Christmas lights and officially starting the festive season! Come along again tonight (5pm-9pm) for more beautiful light art AND the highly anticipated Lantern Parade. Led by @handmadeproductionscic, tonight's parade will begin at 5:30pm at County Hall, travelling through Wakefield City Centre, celebrating Wakefield wildlife. We'll see you there 👋 📸 @towersfilmandmedia #LightUpWakefield #LightArt #Parade @lutnorth 14 Nov 2026

Days may be getting shorter and nights darker, but a host of events and activities are lighting up the West Yorkshire skyline this festive season!

Showcasing some of Yorkshire’s favourite independent producers and artisan makers, the Markets will feature a wide range of unique stalls with everything from homeware to jewellery, gifts and delicious food for you to enjoy on the day or take home. Get into the festive spirit in Dewsbury town centre by joining the local community as they celebrate Christmas at the recently opened historic Arcade – Europe’s first community owned shopping centre and architectural gem. The day’s festivities will culminate in a spectacular community lantern parade led by Edgelands Arts, leaving Dewsbury Town Hall at 5pm. Harewood House reimagines festive elegance with Magic at the Mansion for 2026. Created with award-winning digital artists Studio McGuire, Harewood’s magnificent interiors become an immersive world where portraits reveal their secrets, objects tell stories and unexpected musical moments bring the collections to life. Outside, explore the winter gardens, grounds and the new Elf Village, with artisan Christmas markets on selected dates and festive afternoon tea adding even more reasons to make a day of it.

Today, on Remembrance Sunday, we pause to remember and honour all those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present. Across the Wakefield district, communities come together to reflect, pay their respects and remember those whose courage and service will never be forgotten. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. 01 Jan 1970

Think the Wakefield district is all rhubarb, liquorice and coal? Think again! From haunted houses to eerie underground passages, these spooky locations have some truly chilling tales to tell. 👉 30 East Drive Often described as Britain’s most haunted house, 30 East Drive in Pontefract has become infamous for reports of unexplained activity, mysterious noises and sightings linked to the legend of the Black Monk. 📍 Pontefract, WF8 2AN Pontefract Castle Dungeon Hidden beneath Pontefract Castle, the dungeon has witnessed centuries of imprisonment, conflict and tragedy. With names carved into the rock by former prisoners, some visitors claim the castle’s long history still leaves its mark after dark... 📍 Pontefract, WF8 1QH Yorkshire Scare Grounds Not for the faint-hearted! Yorkshire Scare Grounds has become a popular part of the region’s Halloween calendar, with seven themed scare zones and plenty of terrifying roaming characters creating an immersive spine-chilling experience for visitors. 📍 Hell Lane, WF1 5SH Which Wakefield district location gives you the biggest chills? 31 Oct 2026
