One of Wakefield city centre’s most distinctive historic pubs is receiving a major £100,000 restoration.

The work at 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐞 is focused on carefully restoring the building rather than changing its character. Its famous Art Nouveau tiled frontage is being cleaned and repaired, while windows are repainted, old fixing holes filled and surrounding historic paving restored.

The transformation comes ahead of the pub’s three-day beer festival from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 September, featuring more than 50 ales from over 20 breweries.

It’s fantastic to see real investment being made in one of Wakefield’s traditional pubs while protecting the features that make it so special. Who’s looking forward to seeing the finished result?

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆-𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: 𝐇𝐔𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁 🎤

Wakefield’s legendary Theatre Club is set to rise again, with Engelbert Humperdinck apparently taking the keys to the famous Doncaster Road venue.

The cabaret icon reportedly said: “𝑀𝑦 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑎 𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝐷𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝐶𝑟𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑀𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑎.”

No opening date has been announced, although insiders say he’s currently trying to persuade the council to ‘Release Me’ from the planning conditions.

*This is satire. Engelbert is not reopening the Theatre Club - although we’d absolutely buy a ticket.
