THE RIDINGS, WAKEFIELD
15th November 2025
WHERE: The Ridings Shopping Centre, Almshouse Lane, Wakefield, WF1 1DS.
WHEN: Saturday 15th November 2025, trading times 9-4.
ATTRACTIONS:
LSM's latest adventure into a modern shopping centre.
This is going to be full of traders of all sorts, just like the ones you find at my events in the museums.
Because this is in a modern shopping centre, there's obviously no admission charge. I won't be running a tearoom of my own, there are plenty of places in there for you to have a great choice of what to eat and drink. I'll get in touch with places to see if they'd be up for doing some sort of offer for the day.
I don't have space to do coffee jousting and also not able to have an owl flight on this occasion.
The centre has a footfall of 21,000 on a normal Saturday. (I'm not bothering with doing the Sunday as the footfall is only 6,000!)
There's lots of shops, plenty of parking - check it all out on their website here
Car parking:
There's over 1,000 spaces, including 43 blue badge holder spaces and 22 family parking bays all with direct access into the centre.
It's is a ticketless car parking system where your number plate is automatically captured & recognised at the entrance barrier.
When you are ready to leave, simply head over to one of the pay machines, enter your registration number, and pay the amount due either with a card or cash.
Trader parking: pay for your own, I'm not prepared to risk a repeat of what happened last time!
