About Us

WX Wakefield Exchange is a lively arts and culture venue in Wakefield City Centre, which opened in February 2025.

Visitor can enjoy a delicious range of food & drink from onsite street food vendors: Gray's Coffee Shop, La Chingada Tex-Mex, The Exchange Tap, Spudz Wakefield and Smash & Dash Wakefield.

There is a varied programme of events year-round for visitors of all ages to enjoy, from rodeos and comedy nights, to toddler discos and live music gigs!

A stunning multi-use space, from modular meeting rooms to our largest space that can accommodate up to 1000 people, we offer a variety of room hire options for all types of activities.

WX is run by a small but mighty team as part of the Arts, Culture and Leisure department at Wakefield Council, supported using public funding by Department for Design, Culture, Media & Sport, and Arts Council England.
