Wakefield Museum is Looking for Love!

Wakefield’s new museum will contain an area exploring love.  We have a wartime wedding dress, made out of net curtains, various early Valentine’s cards, and even a medieval posy ring! 

We would really like to collect some more contemporary love stories to display when the museum opens this Autumn.

Medieval ring from Sandal Castle - the inscription reads 'I'm all yours' in medieval  French

Are you a couple that met or courted in Wakefield’s Music Saloon on Wood Street?  If so, we would love to hear from you so that we can arrange to meet with you and be told all about how you met.

Or, have you recently had your hen-night in Wakefield (or will be having one soon)?  We would love to be able to display some of your hen-night kit!  Did you have ‘L’ plates, customised T-shirts etc.?  Please get in touch if you would be happy to donate some items (and a photograph of you with your ‘hens’) for display in the love section of the museum!

To contact us, please email to leave your contact details, and we will be in touch!
