About

Did you know Wakefield led the way in video games? Wakefield-based company Team17 first launched the iconic Worms game 30 years ago!


Wakefield Museum has a new display to celebrate. You can also play the latest Worms game here in the museum!


Visit this half term and take part in two days of wormy fun for Worm Half Term! Enjoy crafts and activities exploring both video games and, well, worms.


Free, no booking required. Stay for as little or as long as you like.
