Wakefield: Your Base in the Heart of Yorkshire

Wakefield, a city in West Yorkshire, boasts a rich industrial past, particularly its heritage in coal mining, which shaped much of its character. Today, it's widely recognised for its cultural institutions, notably the Hepworth Wakefield, an art gallery dedicated to the work of Barbara Hepworth and other contemporary artists, and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, an open-air gallery showcasing pieces by prominent sculptors. These venues draw visitors keen to explore modern and contemporary art within striking architectural and natural settings.

Beyond its artistic offerings, Wakefield is also home to Wakefield Cathedral, a medieval building with one of the tallest spires in Yorkshire, reflecting centuries of local history. The city's proximity to the River Calder and its network of canals also provides opportunities for strolls along the waterways, connecting it to other areas of historical significance in the region.

Where to book your hotel in Wakefield

For visitors to Wakefield, many choose to book their accommodation in the city centre. This area offers a convenient base, with easy access to amenities and transport links, making it a practical choice for most stays.

The City Centre provides a mix of hotel options, from established chains to smaller independent guesthouses. Here, you'll find yourself close to Wakefield Cathedral, a notable architectural point of interest, and the Ridings Shopping Centre for retail. For dining, there's a good selection of eateries along Northgate and Kirkgate, catering to various tastes. The Theatre Royal Wakefield, an impressive Victorian venue, also sits centrally, offering a range of performances.

Moving slightly west, the area around Westgate offers further hotel choices, often with good proximity to Wakefield Westgate railway station. This is particularly useful for those arriving by train or planning day trips. The Hepworth Wakefield art gallery, home to significant modern British art, is a little further south, by the River Calder, accessible from this part of the city. Restaurants and pubs are plentiful here, contributing to a lively evening atmosphere.

For those prioritising convenient transport connections, staying in the city centre ensures you're well-placed for Wakefield Westgate station, which provides frequent services to Leeds and London. Local bus services also radiate from the central bus station. When considering air travel, Leeds Bradford Airport is the closest option, approximately a 40-minute drive away, while Manchester Airport is also accessible by direct train from Wakefield Westgate, typically taking around an hour and a half, making these a consideration for your hotel location if onward travel is a priority.

To secure better rates on hotels in Wakefield, consider booking during the quieter periods. The city often sees an uplift in visitors during events like the Wakefield Rhubarb Festival, typically held in February, and the popular Long Division Festival in June, which can lead to higher accommodation costs. Therefore, avoiding February and June if your trip isn't specifically for these events could save you a bit.

Generally, the off-peak season for leisure travellers falls between November and January, excluding the Christmas and New Year period. You're likely to find more competitive prices then, as well as during late summer and early autumn from late August to October, once the main school holidays have concluded. Weekday stays are also usually more economical than weekends.
