Meet Albert… the pawsome dog of Wakefield legend Allan Jones (AKA the Chestnut Man). 🌰🐶 We loved hearing about Albert’s favourite treats and activities. Who knew dogs could like bouncy castles and pineapple chunks?! 😂 What’s the funniest thing about your dog? Let us know in the comments! 💬👇 #Wakefield #WakefieldDistrict #Dogs #DogsofInstagram #FunnyDogs #PuppyLove #FYP #WestYorkshire #Dog #ChestnutMan 14 May 2025 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 Wakefield Trinity turned on the lights at this year's Light Up Wakefield. 🏉✨ We caught up with Head Coach, Daryl Powell, to hear what the event means to them and why it's such a special celebration for our city. If you missed out on tonight's celebrations, come down tomorrow evening for another magical night. #LightUpWakefield #WakefieldTrinity #Wakefield #Christmas 13 Nov 2026 Watch Wakefield transform after dark ⭐️ From daylight to dazzling displays, these incredible installations are lighting up the city centre as part of Light Up Wakefield. Which one is your favourite? 👇 #LightUpWakefield #Wakefield #VisitWakefield 13 Nov 2026 We’re bringing investment to towns right across the district! Every town and village in our district plays an important part in Wakefield's success. They help to make it a great place to live, work and visit. We know that in the past some of our smaller communities haven't received the investment they deserve. The Forgotten Communities Fund is about putting that right. Backed by more than £2.8 million, this scheme will support projects that make a real difference to local people and help communities right across the district. Your local ward members will play an important role in shaping how the funding is used, helping to identify projects and ideas that will improve the area and make a real difference to local people. We’ll be keeping you updated on grants awarded and community projects carried out in the months ahead. #Wakefield #EconomicGrowth #Regeneration #ForgottenCommunitiesFund 11 Nov 2026 Today, we remember those who gave their lives serving their country, and all those who served. We will never forget their courage and sacrifice. This beautiful canopy was made by local people, volunteers, organisations and partners from across the district, it is a moving tribute to those we remember today. Every knitted, crocheted and sewn poppy, along with the memorabilia on display, has helped create something special for Remembrance. #Remembrance #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget 11 Nov 2026 Ready to get festive? 🎅🎄 November and December are packed with events across the district, from festive markets and Santa's grottos to live performances, seasonal activities and much more. We've pulled together some key dates to help inspire your festive plans. ✨ Whatever you're into, there's plenty to enjoy across the Wakefield district this winter. #Christmas #Festive #ThingsToDo 06 Nov 2026 Leaves are falling earlier than usual this year after a hot, dry summer. That's why our cleansing teams are out across the district sweeping leaves and cleaning gullies ahead of winter. While some rain can help flush debris through the drainage system, heavy rainfall can cause blocked gullies to overflow. Our teams will continue targeting areas at risk of flooding. After a successful Summer of Action, we're keeping up the momentum to help keep Wakefield clean, safe and prepared for the months ahead. As part of this, we have doubled the number of gully tankers on the road and increased our road sweepers from 3 to 5. 05 Nov 2026 Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 To celebrate, we're telling some of the eeriest stories from across our district. From ghostly sightings to mysterious legends, there’s no shortage of spooky tales to tell... What local stories have we missed? Share them in the comments below! #Halloween #Wakefield #Ghosts #Yorkshire #Spooky 31 Oct 2026 Warning: This haunted house contains scenes some Wakefield folk may find disturbing! ⚠️ A Pontefract cake that's not from Pontefract… A roast without Yorkshire puddings… A cruise without Jane McDonald… 😱 Proceed with caution... What did we miss? #HauntedHouse #Wakefield #Halloween #Culture 26 Oct 2026 Did you know that beneath Pontefract Castle is a dungeon dating back almost 1,000 years ago? 🏰 From its famous prisoners to the terrible conditions they were kept in, the walls beneath the castle have plenty of stories to tell.
