About

Starting at Pontefract Museum, join Pontefract Civic Society on a meander around the town centre to view a few of the locations that have inspired the artists in their creations for Picturing Pontefract.


Hear about these Pontefract heritage buildings, their uses over the centuries, the people and professions behind them.


This walk is based upon the Picturing Pontefract exhibition currently taking place at Pontefract Museum. Explore the town through the eyes of artists, craftspeople and map makers during the town’s rich history.
