Please note this is not a ticketed event and therefore we cannot confirm what the site capacity will be on the day, previous years has shown Friday and Saturday as the busiest day and Sunday being slightly quieter. The crowds generally gather close to the stalls and break out areas can be found on the precinct where benches can be found for rests. Wakefield Cathedral will be open during the event where welfare facilities and a quiet space can be found.
The Ridings Shopping Centre is located adjacent to the outdoor festival that will be a quieter area for you to stop and have food and drink should the festival area be crowded, this area also contains disabled access toilets, changing area and an Assistance and Accessibility Lounge.
