Wakefield is a city in the county of West Yorkshire, England, south of Leeds, and by the River Calder.
Wakefield is also known for its mystery plays, a cycle of 32 scriptural plays dating from the early 15th century, which were performed as part of the summertime religious festival of Corpus Christi and revived in recent times.
Wakefield is one of the points of the triangular area with the neighbouring towns of Morley and Rothwell at the other two, and is also home to the annual 8 day "Rhubarb Festival" which consists of various themed tours, talks, exhibitions and markets.
