Qe can't even look after the cities greatest legacy, it's RL club. The Hepworth is frankly ordinary as is the sculpture park. I use Anglers a lot but it's hardly special. New miller dam is a pretty oasis but everywhere has somewhere like it.
Wakefield is fairly bland and always has been. It's two saving graces used to be it's incredible pub scene and it's RL club, both of which are in decline (off the field in our case).'"
I'll take you to task there regarding the decline in the pub scene Vasty, as the one man Wakefield pub scene spokesman you couldn't be more wrong. The pub scene has improved immeasurably in the last 5 to 10yrs plus the the introduction of Craft beers and popularity of gin have given the City the kick up the arris that it needed.
For us old kids the top of Westgate and up into town a little is a great area, there's probably ten bars that are worth a visit. This isn't a Leeds or Wakey debate, I just feel that if you want a cheaper more relaxed atmosphere that Wakey is a fantastic option to Leeds.
