This modern office building is part of the revitalised mills complex at Wakefield's waterfront.

A really good turnout tonight for our second Dining Club meeting of 2025. Tonight, we were at Delphi Restaurant, just off the Bull Ring when 28 of us sat down to eat Greek-style food. (No plates were broken!)

Our first Dining Club outing of 2025 took us to Prego, an Italian restaurant off Westgate. Well worth braving the freezing weather for a very enjoyable evening.

Our members receive regular email newsletters about what we've been doing and what has caught our eye.

On 12th November 2024, we unveiled a blue plaque commemorating Mabel Lucy Matthews. Born in Wakefield, she went to to become an electrical engineer and instigated the creation of the Electrical Association for Women (EAW). The EAW held its first meeting on 12th November 1924 in London.
