Wakefield

Our time to shine…

Our Year was a year-long project which brought events and activities to everyone in the Wakefield District. With communities at its heart, it was Our Year to try something new!

With 366 days of activities, Our Year encouraged more people to visit putting Wakefield on the map. For residents it was a chance to explore all the amazing things happening on their own doorsteps.

This Was Our Year

Exhibition

Our Year 2024 saw people of all walks of life getting involved in creativity and culture on their doorsteps, and showcased the remarkable place we live.

From amazing moments of wonder, such as The Hatchling, to hundreds of incredible community-led activities, Our Year had something for everyone, everywhere. Although 2024 is now over, culture and creativity remains a life-force in our communities, and there is still plenty to do and see right across our district. Join us in March as we reflect on our district’s journey and celebrate all we achieved together. This pop up exhibition is family-friendly and free to attend.

Dates: Friday 14 March – Sunday 23 March 2025

Location: WX Wakefield Exchange
