Take in award-winning contemporary art and sculpture at The Hepworth Wakefield, then enjoy a change of pace and take a stroll around Yorkshire Sculpture Park or if art isn’t your thing then Leeds is home to four outstanding theatres, an arena, and is one of just three cities outside London to boast an Opera House and Ballet company, so you can always catch a show to suit all tastes and ages. On top of that, Bradford is the world’s first UNESCO City of Film and a centre of Victorian heritage, while the nearby village of Saltaire is also a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wander the creative, bohemian streets of Hebden Bridge, and you can find artisan shops and inspiring galleries. In Leeds you can find big name brands and designer shops like Louis Vuitton and Vivienne Westwood to name just a few and a short trip to Saltaire and you can explore Salt’s Mill, an impressive building home to an inspiring David Hockney gallery, a superb selection of shops and some tempting restaurants and cafes.

Ilkley is known as the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales. It boasts magnificent countryside and it’s a rock climbers' paradise with the famous Cow and Calf Rocks sitting proudly above the town, on the rolling Yorkshire moors.

Enjoy world-class cuisine in one of Wakefield’s many restaurants, or have a scrumptious lunch and a pint in a cosy country pub. The Leeds food and drink scene is unmissable too; serving up an abundance of diverse dishes, with award-winning eateries and incredible independents all on the doorstep and let’s not forget that Bradford is the curry Capital of Britain.
