Wedding cake debuts at the Red Shed BBQ

Yorkshire Evening Post

|

August 12, 2025

During summer I am often away from home either on holiday or working or a combination of both for much of the time and that can mean I miss out on local events and get togethers.

- with Karen Wright

Last week I was in luck though and my diary was empty over a whole weekend which meant that I could enjoy the annual members' day BBQ at the Red Shed in Wakefield.

The Red Shed is what it says on the box, a wooden building, painted bright red and is the home of Wakefield's Labour Club. It is a very iconic building which opened in 1966, it has a great vibe and is used for many different things not just political stuff, in fact my mum plays bingo there on Thursday afternoons with the Darby and Joan Club.
