Hosted by Wakefield BID, in partnership with Wakefield Council

Wakefield’s evening and night-time economy is vital to the success of our city — from hospitality and retail to safety, culture and footfall.

This exclusive session, led by Wakefield BID, will bring together businesses, partners and stakeholders to explore what’s working, share the challenges, and discuss the next steps for a thriving city after dark.

What to Expect

• Business Findings & Insights – Wakefield BID will share the results of one-to-one conversations with venue owners, businesses and the public.
• Q&A with Cllr Jack Hemingway – Put your questions directly to the Deputy Leader of Wakefield Council during an open discussion.
• Networking – Connect with others who are shaping and delivering Wakefield’s night-time economy.

This session is aimed at Wakefield city centre businesses and partners who are directly involved in, or influenced by, the night-time economy, including:

• Bars, pubs, restaurants and takeaways
• Late-opening retailers and convenience stores
• Licensed premises and venue operators
