The WOW Guide 2025/26 is Now Live and Free to Access!
We are thrilled to announce that the brand-new WOW Guide (What’s On Where) for 2025/26 is now available online — and completely free to use!
This digital guide is packed with incredible information on local organisations, support services, and a vibrant calendar of regular events for older adults across the Wakefield district. From craft clubs and fitness classes to dementia cafés and lunch meetups, the WOW Guide brings together hundreds of activities happening every week — all in one accessible place.
You can find the access link to the online WOW Guide at the bottom of the article.
Why the WOW Guide Was Created
Back in 2024, we identified a gap in our community. So many wonderful groups and services were running day in and day out — but not everyone knew they existed. The WOW Guide was created to bridge that gap and connect as many people as possible to the support and social opportunities Wakefield has to offer.
Now entering its second edition, the WOW Guide continues to shine a light on everything that makes our local area such a warm and supportive place to live.
What You’ll Find Inside
A wide range of daily and weekly events tailored for older adults
Details for support services, from dementia support to carers’ groups
Listings from trusted local partners including Age UK Wakefield District, Alzheimer’s Society, Admiral Nurses, and many more
Contact information and accessibility-friendly activity descriptions
Opportunities to meet people, try something new, and stay active and connected
Physical Copies Coming Soon
Printed copies of the 2025/26 WOW Guide are heading to press and will be available from Q4 this year. If your local business or organisation would like to reserve copies to share, we would love to hear from you — simply get in touch with our office.
Help Us Keep It Growing
We aim to update the WOW Guide every two years, with the next edition due in Q3 2026. If you know of a local activity or support group that should be included next time, or if you have questions about the current guide, please contact our central marketing team at:
