Wakefield Museums and Castles

Enjoy eggsploring the incredible nature all around us this Easter holidays!

Ilbert the Dragon invites you to Pontefract Castle for a day of dynamic dragon and nifty nature activities.

Meet Ilbert’s friends from the RSPB and Wakefield Recycles. Learn more about how to help nature in your local area.

Take the day at your own pace with a wonderful range of drop-in crafts.

There’s loads for your crafty little dragons to sink their claws into!

SEND session:

There is an SEND version of this event earlier in the day, 10am to 10:45am on Wednesday 1 April. SEND families are welcome at all of our sessions. We are also running this SEND session for those families who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. SEND sessions must be pre-booked.
